Money Rules the World
The Grip of Money: Lyrics Unveiling Socio-Political Realities
Lyrics
Politicians bought and sold
Politicians are influenced by financial interests.
And they're doing just what they're told
Politicians follow orders rather than acting independently.
Pretending that they got our backs
Politicians pretend to support the public while serving corporate interests.
But they belong to Exxon and Goldman Sachs
Politicians are aligned with corporations like Exxon and Goldman Sachs.
They're standing with the flag unfurled
Politicians display patriotism with the flag.
But it's money
Despite patriotic gestures, the driving force is money.
It's money that rules the world
Money is the dominant force governing the world.
They're trying to say to me and you
The message that corporations are considered as people.
Corporations are people too
Corporations are given undue influence in society.
The way that it seems to me
An observation that corporations threaten democracy.
They're trying to steal our democracy
An assertion that democracy is under threat of being stolen.
So many accusations hurled but it's money
Various accusations are made, but money remains the primary influencer.
It's money that rules the world
Money continues to be the ruling force despite accusations.
I used to watch the eagle fly
A reminiscence of watching the symbol of the United States, the eagle.
See him soaring across the sky
Expressing the beauty of the eagle soaring in the sky.
But now it makes me wanna cry
Expressing sadness that the current state of affairs brings tears.
I'm afraid that it soon will die
Fear that the eagle, a symbol of freedom, is in danger of extinction.
So listеn, ev'ry boy and girl
A call to attention for every boy and girl to be aware.
It's money, money
Reiteration that money is the dominant force ruling the world.
Monеy that rules the world
Emphasis on money as the prevailing influence in the world.
