Donald Rumsfeld, Secretary of Defense
I wanna p-p-privatize!
Give more of the government to the rich guys
Let's create an industry: Death, Destruction, and Safety
Well very next day Twin Towers hit
Two Twin Towers turned to grit
Now we've got our catalyst!
Not that we needed one cause we already owned the government anyway!!
Oh we don't like guys named Donald
We don't like guys named Donald
We don't like guys named Donald no! X2
Them profiteers don't give a rat's ass
That's because they're Capitalist Trash
They engineered an endless war
No tiny threat could be ignored
And the entire project was bankrolled by taxes on the people who were already hurting so that companies like Halliburton could get rich making cameras that are watching you!!
Oh they used emergency to privatize our agencies
So suddenly these corporatists get richer with each terrorist
So they make them up
They make them up
And send them to Guantanamo
They make them up
Meanwhile they keep tabs on us
Lists of data adding up
In Police States arrests are Profit
War is Profit
Death is Profit
And so are the rescue teams owned by the same guys that come in to save you from the crisis!
Yeah we don't like guys like Donald
We don't like guys like Donald
We don't like Mitch McConnelll no x2
See the big problem is greed yes but
Also conflict of interest
Common good for public works
Corporations some rich jerks
And when you got the exact same Don running both
Your liberty means squat
This government's not for you
It's for Profit!
Oh Democracy in Capitalism doesn't exist
You can elect somebody
Take your pick
But they're also some big corporate business dick
And that's how they'll represent you!
So my friends it's pretty bleak
All this shit still as we speak
How to build collective power?
Show the world's Don's their final hour
This is it, we must resist
Joe Biden and the Capitalists!!
