lyrics

I’m a populist through and through
I’m a populist how about you?
should the power be held by
the powerful or by you?
it’s not hard to choose

I don’t side with any one side
just the powerless
up against the rest
we all fight for our selifsh own life
but I try to side with the side that has less

cuz I’m a populist through and through
I’m a populist how about you?
should the power be held by
the powerful or by you?
it’s not hard to choose

The bigwigs that are running everything
are the force I fight every day and night
I don’t care if you’re left or if you’re right
if you want to fight for the common peoples’ rights

cuz I’m a populist through and through
I’m a populist how about you?
should the power be held by
the powerful or by you?
I’m not the only one

and it only goes to show
everyone told you so
if you heard them at all
and you don’t know what to think
now that we’re on the brink
of our voice being loudest of all

so keep your sound loud
no matter your tune
if you’re being abused I’ll fight for you
cuz I’m a populist
oh yeah
cuz I’m a populist
that’s right
yeah I’m a populist
