Lyrics
Verse 1 People talkin' they don't care what they say As long as it hurts someone it makes their day They fuel the rag mag with their lies and hate "Let's get another" they can hardly wait And it's a damn shame Verse 2 The paparazzi make their flash bulbs glow They sell the pictures use the money for blow They stay up chasin' the American sleeze They give the starlet free publicity Chorus And the big wheel keeps on turnin' While the people keep on burnin' And the country keeps on spinnin' Down the drain Bridge Oh, this used to be the land of the free All because of the brave But we've become such a parody And soon there won't be nothin' to save Verse 3 The politician say he'll help the poor He helps them lose their home their job and more He rob the people with his filthy ways And every year he votes himself a raise Chorus And the big wheel keeps on turnin' While the people keep on burnin' And the country keeps on spinnin' Down the drain Down the drain Down the drain That's where we're goin' Wave to the tidy bowl man Remember when the government was afraid of the people? Seems like we need to turn that back around Greed is gonna kill us all ©2013 J. Johnston & T. Johnston BMI ANVIL Records
