World in His Pocket
He's got the world in his pocket,
Doesn't pay his share of tax.
When the laws start to catch him,
He just makes those laws relax.
He gets his sweetheart deals done
While the public is asleep,
Some small change to a senator
And profits he will reap.
He's got the world in his pocket,
'Cause politicians are so cheap.
He's got the world in his pocket,
Reputation is intact.
When the truth starts to catch him,
He invents a different fact.
It's all been kept a secret,
No one ever seeks redress
For the overseas slave labor
And environmental mess.
He's got the world in his pocket,
'Cause he owns most of the press.
His power comes from his invisibility,
But all of his decisions impact you and me.
He can be counteracted by the public voice.
Support him or expose himwe do have a choice.
He's got the world in his pocket,
He sees what he wants to see.
When the deaths start to catch him,
He just says, "Well don't blame me."
His global corporate empire
Will make all stockholders thrive,
He'll make grand ambitious forecasts
And then shift to overdrive.
He'll have the world in his pocket,
While the world is still alive.
