about

reading Noam Chomsky I couldn't help but incorporate his views into a song (or two). Chomsky is like the innocent in the Wizard of Oz who lifts the veil, exposing the hapless tyrant running things behind a curtain of deceipt. As Arundati Roy has said, "Remember, we are many, they are few."

lyrics

the pundits extol the virtue of God the market
there are no pundits by definition

who point out the misery and alienation
the poverty and humiliation
of rule by for and of money rule by for and of money

middle:

a dollar sign rises up out of the ocean in the morning in the east
a dollar sign sinks into the ocean in the evening in the west

2.
who do you suppose owns the media
who do you suppose owns the government

whose telephone calls do you suppose they return
when they say our vital interests are at stake
who do you suppose they mean by "our"
when they say we who do you suppose they mean by "we"

rule by for and of money rule by for and of money
