The men who run my country are running her into the ground
A ship lost on the ocean caught in a storm and tumbling down
Down like corporate bowling pins
Down like door-to-door salesmen Down
Down like Peter to pay Paul Down
Down oiling the devil's paw
Elected officials prostituting for the highest contribution
Behind closed doors looking for new ways to interpret the constitution
Down-sizing the public trust
Down in big businesses clutch- Down
Down like Bonnie's down with Clyde
Down like gasoline in fire- Down
Down the worm goes in the wood
Down there goes the neighborhood Down
Down, the death nail in the box
Down, the children in Iraq Down
Down like jet planes in the sky
Down like smoke gets in your eyes Down
Down like soldiers in the sand
Down like we were in Vietnam- Down
Ooooooo, Ooooooo"
