lyrics

all of the big companies in this land
they got money to spare
and all of their employees
don’t got much more
than the clothes that they wear
so why should the people on top
get bailed out
when things start to go south
while we never get too much
when we’re the ones
that are living on nothing at all
yeah I think it’s a little bit rigged
cuz when the companies need help

they get their bailout
so where’s our bailout?
the government’s always there
for people on top
but they never bail out us

no it doesn’t seem quite right
to live so high
then ask us to
help you when you’re falling
see how they privatize
all of their gains
but then they socialize the losses
their profits are only for them
but then when they need some help

they get their bailout
so where’s our bailout?
the government’s always there
for people on top
but they never bail out us

they don’t know a thing about
what it’s like to live without
we’re just people that they read about
but every now and then
you need a little help
and we become your best friend
whenever you’re needing your fix
we’re right there to keep you rich

it’s gotta be good to be king
you survive no matter the mess you’re in
yeah I don’t know how you’d go wrong
with everybody waiting to take your fall
down in the real world there’s a rising up

cuz it doesn’t seem quite right
to live so high
then ask us to
help you when you’re falling
see how they privatize
all of their gains
but then they socialize the losses
suddenly you’re a socialist
if it means you make a little more cash

and get your bailout
but where’s our bailout?
we all need somebody
to lend a hand now and again
but the bailout’s gone

about

Mayaenova image

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
