lyrics

well you know we try
just as hard as we can but we just get by
we got the deck stacked against us every time
so why would we keep your traditions alive?
just let ‘em die

cuz a dollar ain’t a dollar no more
you can pay us all day but what’s it all for
when a dollar ain’t a dollar no more
we’re just meat on the street to the people in control
a dollar ain’t a dollar no more
so give it back to the people that gave you what you own
a dollar ain’t a dollar no more
gonna find where the rich live knocking on their door

hello
we’re coming for you
hear your warning loud and clear
right now
go find a new way to make your money
you can start by working all day for nothing at all

cuz a dollar ain’t a dollar no more
you can pay us all day but what’s it all for
when a dollar ain’t a dollar no more
we’re just meat on the street to the people in control
a dollar ain’t a dollar no more
you get it back when you gamble cuz the money’s not yours
a dollar ain’t a dollar no more
we’re gonna find where the rich live knocking on their door

never gonna make it all okay
til everybody makes a decent wage
never gonna let your system win
til everybody knows what freedom is
everything’s gonna come back round
the change that’s coming in is gonna take you down

now your staff’s all gone
and you’re trying to hire another one
but you can go ahead and keep that money

cuz a dollar ain’t a dollar no more
you can pay us all day but what’s it all for
when a dollar ain’t a dollar no more
we’re just meat on the street to the people in control
a dollar ain’t a dollar no more
so give it back to the people that gave you what you own
a dollar ain’t a dollar no more
gonna find where the rich live knocking on their door

well they say hard work is the only thing
but some people get hung on their boot strap strings
and sometimes a little hand up means everything

Mayaenova Austin, Texas

Jam-packed with juicy 60s drum samples, spicy 70s-style bass licks, and caustic Bernie-cratic lyrics decrying the rampant income and wealth inequality ever since, DONOR REPUBLIC is a 20-song ode to freedom from corporatism, crony capitalism, and the corrupt political system in which we live. ... more
