Текст пісні
The ink is dry on the parchment but the spirit's gone cold
Another story of a swindle that's a century old
They're hiding in the boardroom, they're hiding on their jets
While the rest of us are feeling our primal, pissed regrets
The lesson of 2008 is rattling the cage
As the architects of torture were let to skip off the front page
No cuffs for all the bankers, no sentences to tell
Just a bunch of golden parachutes on a packed flight straight to hell!
When we rule the world, there will be accountability
Cause when we rule the world, our actions won't be a soliloquy
We're done with playing nice, we're done with hate and fear
Cause the day of "people power" is about to become clear
Yeah, when we rule the world!
If you're not part of the solution, then you're part of the problem
We've got a ladder for the people and a pit for the bottom
The solution is simple, but not always easy
Especially when your metric is "does it please me?"
You cited the "pretext," you signed the "memo"
While the constitution's burning like a low-budget demo
But the wind it is shifting, can you all see the sound?
When the "Too Big To Fail" will not be around!
When we rule the world, there will be more immigration
Cause when we rule the world, we'll push the statute of limitations!
We're putting out the fire, we're codifying laws
No more looking the other way at everything we saw
Yeah we seen what we saw!
Yeah we seen what we saw!
"Radical?" because we want a doctor or clean air
It's a donor-class distraction a tactic just to scare
One side's a wrecking ball, the other's just a ghost
While the vocal few are cheering as they burn our hopes the most!
Killing women for a myth and taxing our last breath
Just to keep the quiet giant from choking us to death
It's the feckless vs. the awful and we're done with choosing sides
We will no longer be silent-it's the turning of the tides!
Yeah, when we rule the world!
Now we've got a put a stop-o to the Gestapo
Breaking down the doors, thinking that they are Capo's
While the D O J is playing "hide the decree"
Treats the Bill of Rights like a suggestion or a maybe
Every agency is headed by a crook or a clown
Incompetent fools trying to burn our house down
They ignore the subpoenas, they spit on the oath
We're coming for the crooks and the clowns-yeah, both!
When we rule the world, there'll be more accessibility
Cause when we rule the world, they'll own their liability
The gavel will be heavy and the truth's gonna sting
We're not pulling punches cause there are "No Kings"
Yeah, when we rule the world!
Heal the sick, not the clique!
Fix the bench, lose the stench!
Check the past, make peace last!
Tax the greed, sow the seed!
No more walls, freedom calls!
Pay the cost, or we've lost!
Ban the bribe, join the tribe!
Build the floor, open the door!
Seal the leaks, no more cheats!
Clean the slate, end the wait!
WHEN WE RULE THE WORLD!
The pain of the reign is over...
And the reckoning has begun.
