I don't want to live in a blowhard nation With the king in a tinsely crown When the whole thing wobbles And the wheels come off You know what's gonna go down It's the same sad story 'Bout the power and the glory And the big shots living uptown It's the old rat race So get ready for the chase 'Cause the fat cats are gaining ground I got up this morning And I grabbed me a paper To read up on the low lowdown The front-page feature Was a weird looking creature With a rug and a jowly frown Some of my sinister neighbors Are rattling the sabers And the circus is coming to town It's like a bad tattoo And there's nothing you can do I could sure use a stiff drink now Well they all line up For Christ almighty But there ain't no spine in the words When the talk the resurrection They're thinking the election It's the saddest thing I ever heard And the whole debate Has a sickening weight Like a steer when the hammer comes down When you see the cross Well you better get lost They're gonna burn something down I don't want to live in a blowhard nation With the king in a tinsely crown When the whole thing wobbles And the wheels come off you know what's gonna go down It's the same sad story 'Bout the power and the glory And the big shots living uptown It's the old rat race So get ready for the chase 'Cause the fat cats are gaining ground (yeah) See the breadlines growing And the headlines crowing It's as bad as it's ever been It's all talk, talk, talking While the whole town's walking Down the boulevard of broken dreams And easy money Is as sweet as honey To a hick hanging off of a plow But make no mistake When they're showing you the cake They'll never let you eat it now I don't want to live in a blowhard nation With the king in a tinsely crown When the whole thing wobbles And the wheels come off you know what's gonna go down It's the same sad story 'Bout the power and the glory And the big shots living uptown It's the old rat race So get ready for the chase 'Cause the fat cats are gaining ground Make no mistake When they're showing you the cake They'll never let you eat it now
