\nThey Own the Judges<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

they own the judges
\nthey own the congress
\nthey own the papers
\nand the magazines<\/p>\n

they own the cops
\nthey own the armies and
\nthey think that they own
\nyou and me<\/p>\n

they own the doctors
\nthey get rich from our suffering
\nthey own the churches
\nand the sinners inside<\/p>\n

they own the colleges
\nthe print-outs of knowledge
\nthey own and use history
\nto their own ends<\/p>\n

they own the farms
\nthey own the farmers
\nthey own the factories
\nand the workers lives<\/p>\n

they own the gangsters
\nand they run the wores
\nthey own Vegas
\nand the gamblers trapped inside<\/p>\n

they move in the shadows
\nof presidents and corporations
\nthe means of production
\nin a handful of hands<\/p>\n

you can’t live without money
\nthey enslave us with wages
\nthey pull the strings
\nthat make you and me dance<\/p>\n
