Do you hear the people's voices?

The people: all alone in the world, relying on you to protect them.

Protect their freedom, 

Their rights, 

Their lives. 

Can you hear them? Can you try really hard?

The money is loud. It shouts, it screams, it surrenders 

Itself to dreams of the greatest country in the world. 

It is all that you hear when you receive a donation--

Forget about the other 99% of the nation. 

The 1%, made up of corporations and organizations, 

Giving you those green slips of paper--

Do you hear them? 

Of course! 

Because you benefit them with laws and legislation 

Simply because they gave you a "small" campaign donation. 

You let them write it, and then you sign it 

Discreetly in the night,

Ignoring our plight. 

Because if the law does not go their way, they lose those 

Green slips of paper. 

And you would have failed

In doing them their favor. 

Sincerly,
