The candidates go head-to-head.
Isn’t democracy great?
As for the heads of the heads of the State,
there’s not much debate,
‘cause nobody votes for them.
Hail to the chiefs of the chiefs,
whose lapdogs are our leaders.
No ballot for the seats on the board
of the U.S.A. L.L.C.
The government, under new management,
adopts the ideals of the dollar store.
But these are the times of the sign
when the old bottom line
has a new double underscore.
Hail to the chiefs of the chiefs.
Hear the office-seekers singing
loudly in praise of the King of Kings,
while in the pay of the kings
of the king and queen.
Hail to the chiefs of the chiefs.
They out-Herod Herod.
Oh, say can you see the real C.E.O.’s
of the U.S.A. L.L.C.?
Oh, say can you see the real C.E.O.’s
of the U.S.A. L.L.C.?
Undeniable how well the country has run
as the private concern of a few.
Fewer citizens suing for rights they are due from the company
now that nobody’s liable.
Hail to the chiefs of the chiefs
with their hold on the office-holders.
They all bought and sold
the good employees
of the U.S.A. L.L.C.
