Lyrics
500 dollars - is the payment on your car
Your drink beer from a can - eat food from a jar
your brain is programmed daily by the big screen in the corner
You can't turn it off - you're like junkie or a stoner
CHORUS:
And You can't stop, You can't slow down
They got you heavy loaded - you're going in the ground
No time to wittle and Spit - no time to catch a Z
No time to spin a yarn - You're workin' Maggie's Farm
You need to Feed the tree -
Feed the tree -
Feed the tree -
Feed the tree -
Some Tyrant's blood for me
Some Tyrant's blood for me
Miles, minutes, points -3 days and double nights
Everything for free - just sign away your rights
The special interest lobby laws were forced down your throat
They stole your life while laughing - "You still get to vote"
Chorus
BRIDGE:
Every Senator on the hill is a multi millionaire
They decide the price you pay - just to breathe the air
They decide the who, the what, the why, the where and the when
They Steal all your money to elect themselves again
||: You can't stop, You can't slow down
They got you heavy loaded - it'll put you in the ground
No time to wittle and spit - no time to catch a Z
No time to spin a yarn - You're workin' Maggie's Farm :||
You need to Feed the tree -
Feed the tree -
Feed the tree -
Feed the tree -
Feed the tree -
Some Tyrant's blood for me
Some Tyrant's blood for me
