Dm               Am           C                  G 
Plunderco got in money trouble had to break the law 

Dm                 Am          C                F 
Had to balance the fine against the benefit to all 

Bb              A                   G                  F 
Made a business decision to pay the fine and break the law 

Am   C     F     Am   C       F        Gsus G Fsus F
Too big to fail, too rich for jail 
[Chorus]
F                  C                 G 
They can live with that so why don't we 

F                 C                 G 
After all they're just like you and me 

F               C                       G 
They cast their votes and no one gets excited 

F                C          G 
Because they are Citizens United 
[Interlude] Dm Am C G Dm Am C F [Verse]
Dm                    Am     C                  G 
In the streets of the capital corporations are taking control 

Dm          Am    C          F 
Democracy crushed  at their feet 

Bb            A                   G               F 
Money flows free from the sky to those who come along 

Am    C       F    Am          C         F      Gsus G Fsus F
Some way, somehow, we will prevail, but now 
[Chorus]
F           C           G
How can we regain our freedom 

F            C                G
Lost by our own laws we must abide 

F             C              G
When will we take back our freedom 

F              C               G
To choose the way we live and die 
[Verse]
Dm             Am           C                   G 
Main Street's boarded up now the whole town's asleep 

Dm          Am           C                       F
Mom 'n pop got boarded up in a small business retreat 

Bb                   A                  G            F 
Display windows and broken glass, not a car on the street 

Am          C        F    Am          C       F    Gsus G Fsus F
Out at the big box store people lined up for more 
[Chorus]
F               C            G
People working part-time at Walmart 

F               C           G
Never get the benefits for sure 

F                     C             G
Might not make it to full time at Walmart 

F              C                   G
Still standing by for the call to work 
[Interlude] Dm Am C G Dm Am C F [Verse]
Dm                    Am   C                   G
Corporations have feelings, corporations have soul 

Dm             Am             C                  F
That's why they're like people just harder to control 

Bb                  A                  G                  F 
They don't want to fall, so when they fall, they fall on you 

Am   C     F     Am   C       F        Gsus G Fsus F
Too big to fail, too rich for jail 
[Solo] F C G, F C G, F C G, F C G x3 [Verse]
F                    C              G
From the capital to the boarded-up main streets 

F                 C             G
Big Business is there at every turn 

F                 C                     G
From the food we eat to the clothes we wear to the TV screen 

F                 C                     G
From the air we breathe to the fuel we burn 
[Outro] Dm Am C G Dm Am C F x2 Dm
