Market-driven forces Are the way we'll save the earth We just have to ascertain Exactly how much it's all worth So we put a price on pollution And now we've got lots more We privatized the hospitals And they stopped servicing the poor We privatized the schools And watched the test scores plummet Then we recounted our success At a corporate summit We privatized the prisons And watched the riots flare Deregulated industry Created many a billionaire We removed that federal oversight And watched Enron crash about So we did the same with the utilities And then the power all went out With such a stellar record We opened wide our eyes Looking for some other things We could privatize Letras de canciones So our next plan of action For something calling out for correction Is this complicated process that we call elections So our new proposal For some of your consideration Is that we do away with polling booths And let's just have an auction (Chorus) Sold to the highest bidder It's the road map to prosperity Sold to the highest bidder 'Cause what's good enough for Halliburton (etc.) Is good enough for me Just think of the advantages So many you can choose No more lines at polling stations No more ballots you can lose No more lying politicians Just honest CEO's Following the wisdom of the market Wherever it goes It would eliminate the middleman And we'd just have a direct line No more wasted time with congressmen Who we have to wine and dine It could all be so very simple Over in one day When we just choose our leader Based on who has the most to pay (Chorus) There'd be no more special interests No need to scrub a voter roll We would not have to listen To all those mothers on the dole We would have no problem Telling them to tighten up their collars 'Cause we'd be following the dictates Of the almighty dollars You can waste your time with senators Or judges in the court But the man with the most money Is the one we should support This is clearly the way forward I tell you with aplomb Just think of Silverado Exxon and WorldCom (Chorus) From Letras Mania
