Pablo Fiasco

I've been recording another song. Here it is, still in the early stages of production:

 

 

As with the other song that I recently recorded, I will keep updating new versions to the linked page as I continue to work on it. Check back regularly to hear them improve.

Lyrics:

Don't have to be a victim
Of a corrupt, broken system
Serf City and landlords
Billionaires who rob the poor
    It's never enough
    It's never enough
    It's never enough
    It's never enough
        There's always more!

They steal from the working classes
Write the laws and pay no taxes
While infrastructure's left to rot
They'll buy another mega-yacht
    It's never enough
    It's never enough
    It's never enough
        It might take everything we've got!

            Well, I am an honest man
            In a land of disaster
            And I don't understand
            These un-united states of matter
            Has somebody got a plan
            Because all I've got is laughter
            Slapped by the invisible hand
                You can call me Pablo Fiasco...

Worker exploitation
For low pay and no vacation
While shareholders take more than they need
Driven by their endless greed
    It's never enough
    It's never enough
    It's never enough
        We sweat until we bleed!

Late-stage capitalism
Force-fed cannibalism
It comes down to who you know
To maintain the status quo
    It's never enough
    It's never enough
    It's never enough
        Corporate profits have to grow!

            Well, I am an honest man
            In a land of disaster
            And I don't understand
            These un-united states of matter
            Has somebody got a plan
            Because all I've got is laughter
            Slapped by the invisible hand
                You can call me Pablo Fiasco...

This is a call to action
Consumer dissatisfaction
Has reached a fever pitch
Buy nothing and eat the rich
    We've had enough
    We've had enough
    We've had enough
        It's high time we burn this bridge!

Castaways and hungry sharks
Blood-thirsty oligarchs
Soulless and self-absorbed
Sociopathic to the core
    We've had enough
    We've had enough
    We've had enough
        We won't take it anymore!

            Well, I am an honest man
            In a land of disaster
            And I don't understand
            These un-united states of matter
            Has somebody got a plan
            Because all I've got is laughter
            Slapped by the invisible hand
                You can call me Pablo Fiasco...
