Lyrics
i asked a friend of mine about this year’s election
“who you gonna vote for, who’s gonna win?”
he said “let me ask you a question: are you a gambling man?
before you lay your cards down, you want to have the winning hand
vote for big money
since you got your choice of guys
why not for the very best that
big money can buy, vote for
big money
you know he’ll keep us strong
at least until the next time bigger money comes along”
i said to my friend “don’t you think it’s sad?
that’s the choice you’re making out of all the ones you had”
he said “you poor idiot, let me tell you what I’ll do
when big money wins the election there’ll be one per cent for you”
i said to my friend “now don’t you even care
who’s got the bigger tax cut or the nicer wife out there?”
he said “let ‘em sell their souls, for the future votes they owe
i just want to see who’s really rakin’ in the dough”
I love the great conventions with all the candidates
and all the private functions at 100 grand a plate
and when they get up to the great debates I love to hear them say
“this is the greatest country ever, let’s keep it that way
vote for big money”
