Austerity Song

from What The System Is For by Handtruck

/

lyrics

When they say the bank's gotta be bailed out
When they say no CEO should go without
When they say they're too big to fail
When they say they're too big to jail

What they mean is fuck the poor
Fuck 'em over more and more

When they say the invisible hand provides
When they say it's the market that decides
When they say there's no money for single payer
When they say we gotta fight 'em over there

What they mean is fuck the poor
Fuck 'em over more and more
What they mean is they don't deserve
What they can't afford

When they say don't let a crisis go to waste
When they say the workers can be replaced
When they say austerity will fix it all
When they say gonna have to build a wall

What they mean is fuck the poor
