Now the White House is makin news videos, just to make sure I know what to know
About legislation that affects nation, Let 'em think for me, don't disturb my vegetation
Cause I've got 500 channels of hi-def TV, in my so-called democracy
Dis-information in crystal clarity in my so-called democracy
The rise of American Idiocy in my so-called democracy
Home of the neo-con consent factory in my so-called democracy
Where the 4th estate is bought by the 2nd, I'm sure this is just what The Framers had reckoned
Where town hall meetings with the president are screened for the right kind of sycophant
And I've got justice for all who have enough money in my so-called democracy
Unfair, unbalanced crazies on TV in my so-called democracy
Don't look toward the FCC in my so-called democracy
Dude, where's your accountability? in my so-called democracy
In my so-called democracy, In my so-called democracy
If the White House needs to pay the press, well, they're only looking out for my best
If the NYPD must suppress protest, well, they're only looking out for my best
And if rich folk are feeling oppressed let's give 'em more tax breaks, cause that's what's best
And if they need to draft us for their next conquest, well, they're only looking out for our best
Looking out for our best, can't you see just don't call it democracy
Where White House reporting is just stenography in my so-called democracy
Cause don't you dare question their policy in my so-called democracy
Let's make some laws in secrecy just don't call it democracy
Let's call it a theo-plutocracy just don't call it democracy
In my so-called democracy, In my so-called democracy
In my so-called democracy, In my so-called democracy
