lirik lagu christ vs. warhol - robin hood in reverse
robin hood in reverse lyrics
here comes the banker with his outstretched hand
hands stretched open, hands stretched open
curtseys politely to uncle sam
“could you spare a dime?
could you give a man some time?”
i seem to have gambled my fortunes away
“we can help you,” sam does say
veins bled dry by down and out vampires
“we can help you,” sam does say
but don’t you utter a word upon class warfare
quit your whining ’bout how it all seems unfair
and as the money grubbers take more than their share
don’t you entertain ideas about class warfare
here comes the working man with outstretched hand
shame upon his face, looking quite disgraced
stumbles, exhausted, at the feet of sam
“could you spare a dime?
could you help a man out?
i was tricked by the banker, i’m about to lose my house!”
“un~american!” sam proclaims
“earn your keep or strike out, pull yourselves up by your bootstraps,” sam does say
but don’t you utter a word upon class warfare
quit your whining ’bout how it all seems unfair
and as the money grubbers take more than their share
don’t you entertain ideas about class warfare
extortionary threats, coercion in a curse
robin hood in reverse
speculative bets on advantageous debts
but here’s your safety net:
steal from the poor and give to the rich [8x]
robin hood in reverse!
here comes the banker with his squeezing hands
hands are clenched, around our necks
dons a smile, beguiles, as we fatally blunder
giving public coffers for private plunder
and our children suffer, society is torn asunder
by robin hood in reverse, robin hood in reverse
but don’t you utter a word about class warfare
