Money Rules The World - Walter Trout

Politicians bought and sold

And they’re doing

Just what they’re told

Pretending that

They got our backs

But they belong to Exxon

And Goldman Sachs

They’re standing

With the flag unfurled

But it’s money

It’s money

That rules the world

They’re trying to say

To me and you

Corporations are people too

The way that it seems to me

They’re trying to steal

Our democracy

So many accusations hurled

But it’s money

It’s money

That rules the world

I used to watch the eagle fly

See him soaring across the sky

But now it makes me wanna cry

I’m afraid that he soon will die

So listen ev’ry boy and girl

It’s money, it’s money that rules the world
