puppet factory


Hiding behind the good image
of American democracy
the corporation establishes foreign regimes

Promoting unelected forces
steering our international policy
and our war machines

Foreign policy turned
into the corporations' arm
they do whatever it takes

to keep the money flowing in
Whatever the harm
their puppets may create

Corporation reach right through my TV
Corporation reach right into me
Corporation reach right over the sea
Corporation reach into foreign policy

Politicians in bed with the businesses
Taking care of the corporate health
Monopolizing what is called truth
Monopolizing the power and wealth

Exchange of money on the side
Is what they consider compromise
One nation building nations
Mussolini-style empire on the rise

Meddling in 3rd world sovereignty
annexing control over all the finance
Corporations writing fake history
of their actions in advance

Corporation reach right through my TV
Corporation reach right into me
Corporation reach right over the sea
Corporation reach into foreign policy

Puppet factory
Is this what we've become?
Puppet factory
One nation under the gun (of)

An unelected Trojan-horse trading sponsor
monopolizing our "free" speech --
A multi-headed corporate monster
With so many tentacles and such long reach

Corporation reach right through my TV
Corporation reach right into me
Corporation reach right over the sea
Corporation reach into foreign policy

Liberate me from my TV
Bring the forces in full strength
Have the troops encircle the city
Give us back our own wavelength

Gather together the market bigwigs
Petition them to free our land
But launch the operation in prime time
And watch it tonight on CNN

Yea, with ratings in tow
when the fat cats convene
Democracy is a side-show
to putting in the new puppet regime

Its corporate idolatry
instead of "One nation under God"
Its a puppet regime
At home and abroad

Corporation reach right through my TV
Corporation reach right into me
Corporation reach right over the sea
Corporation reach into foreign policy
