House of Cards
lyrics by My Rap Name is Alex & Brrrn (Bryan Lohr)

Go on Yuppy, get your money
Put it int the stock market, watch it grow
If you take a loss, keep your fingers crossed
and maybe the government will bail you out
Whoever said there was risk involved
never had the law in his palms
Diversify your portfolio,
Keep a lotta senators in your bankroll

Cause everyone wants a cushy job
Make lots of money and be a snob
Nobody wants to turn them gears,
Spending blood, sweat, and tears.
They all want to sit at a desk,
Wait 'til 5 then collect a check
Now they expect money for nothin
Big bonuses to push less buttons


It's all just a house of cards
One false move and it's coming down so hard
We built this house without glue or tape,
and we all know how little it takes
Before the whole thing accepts its fate


And it's all falling down
Not a prayer can save us now
And it's all falling down
Not a prayer can save us now

It's like 2, 4, 6, 8
and um... NASDAQ futures are STILL lookin great
I can't WAIT - till the rising tide makes all of life better
Oh look here it comes now... wait... Um, don't talk about the weather.
Talk about how the FTC can aprove the M&As
We only need - two or three - companies anyways
So find me the closest corporation to praise
We got your 401ks - So everybody plays.
And you can say - say - say - what you want
in a phat mink coat - on a boat - that you flaunt
One dollar one vote - is how we promote - democratization
See, ALL YOUR LEGISLATION ARE BELONG TO CORPORATION.
This is Goldman Sachs' Nation - Go get your own
Better yet, just take your medication and STAY HOME!

Somebody had better throw this anchor overboard
'Cause this ship here is like a bullet train retrofitted for war
the U.S. shoots, SHE SCORES! - All your oils
and your foods and your trees and your waters and your soils
but you can keep your toils - somethin to savor
the latest Dow Jones flavor and it tastes like child labor
You have the right to remain compliant - endowed by OUR creator
otherwise you can do us a favor - and CLEAN UP THIS HERE CRATER
You're expecting compassion from us?  Man, who you zoomin
We're the nation of technocratic stress hardened humans
Mesmerized - Hypnotized - aborbing lies - in through our eyes
We've broken ground on our biggest prison yet IT'S PLANET SIZED
And with our Network news guys are now on every night
our mass media moguls can remind you how to do it RIGHT

--

Step to the right.  Slide.  Slide.
Now step to the right.  Slide.  Slide.
Now take a step to the right.
And now... take a step to the right

You got it.  Lookin good.

Now step to the right
Now step to the right
Now take two steps to the right
And now... take two more steps to the right

Now, while you imagine what a step to the left would be like
TAKE ANOTHER STEP TO THE RIGHT
