"When scoundrels resort to thievery, a land of plenty is no longer free, but we the people, you and me, we can bring back integrity"

This goes out to the poorest of people

Who was born in the rundown shacks

and this is to say that no matter what

I always have your backs

this is a message also for the politicians,

and Congress in their gold cadillacs

America is still the land of the people

Don’t you ever forget that

When you look at the poverty and the ghettos

I hope right between your eyes it smacks

I hope it goes to your soul

and melts your greedy hearts black

and what was not yours,

you give it all back
