Lyrics
World by the Balls
(c) 2003 Kimon / Ultrascene Ent.
When you threw your hat in the political ring, did you know
You would have to rise above your convictions?
Another fascist in Samaritan's clothes
You think it's adoration but we're just looking for a handout
So now just tell us what we all want to hear
And we'll make sure to elect our dictators wisely this year
On who's exploiting who let's be clear
You've got the world by the balls,
You've got the world by the balls again.
Yea it's a dirty job that someone's gotta do
Keep it on the Q.T., Joe Public doesn't need the details
Just tow the line that Dr. Kissinger drew
You look so diplomatic, double-dealing with scumbags
How can corruption be a four-letter word
When you love to watch them line up
and wait for you to butter their bread?
Because you decide who's gonna get fed.
You've got the world by the balls,
You've got the world by the balls again.
Turns out you?re a marionette, another puppet on a string
With a hand up your back, moving your mouth, speaking to us like kids
And just where you?ve been passing out the hat, people don?t need a clue
?cause if they knew who you were really working for now, that would be the end of you, if they only knew.
Yea, I hope history goes easy on you
