[00:03.20] Big Box - Neil Young, Promise of the Real
[00:08.58]
[00:16.30]
[00:25.51] Wonderco got in money trouble had to break the law
[00:33.08] Had to balance the fine against the benefit to all
[00:40.80] Made a business decision to pay the fine and break the law
[00:49.22] Too big to fail, too rich for jail
[01:03.56]
[01:11.74] He can live without so why can't we
[01:19.81] After all they're just like you and me
[01:27.42] They cast their votes and no one gets excited
[01:35.30] Because they are Citizens United
[01:40.43]
[01:58.50] In the streets of the capital corporations are taking control
[02:06.82] Democracy crushed at their feet
[02:14.23] Money flows free from the sky to those who come along
[02:22.57] Some way, somehow, we will prevail, but now
[02:36.47]
[02:44.79] How can we regain our freedom
[02:52.75] Lost by our own laws we must abide
[03:00.88] When will we take back our freedom
[03:08.75] To choose the way we live and die
[03:14.18]
[03:16.55] Main Street's boarded up now the whole town's asleep
[03:23.94] The mom 'n pop got boarded up, a small business retreat
[03:31.74] Sprayed Windows and broken glass, another car on the street
[03:39.45] Out at the big box store people lined up for more
[03:53.01]
[04:02.50] People working part-time at Walmart
[04:10.35] Never get the benefits for sure
[04:17.92] Why not make it to full time at Walmart?
[04:25.63] Still standing by for the call to work
[04:31.52]
[04:49.17] Corporations have feelings, corporations have soul
[04:57.06] That's why they're like people just harder to control
[05:04.35] They don't want to fall, so when they fall, they fall on you
[05:12.88] Too big to fail, too rich for jail
[05:25.93]
[07:07.35] From the capital to the boarded-up main streets
[07:15.44] Big Business is there at every turn
[07:23.26] From the food we eat to the clothes we wear to the TV screen
[07:30.05] From the air we breathe to the fuel we burn
[07:37.65]
