Principle 1 Reduce Democracy
The mainframer said
The design should be
That all power lie
In the hands of the wealthy
Our major concern
Protect the minority
The opulent won’t thrive
If the poor get to decide
We’ll say and they’ll believe
Keep thinkin that they’re free
But what we’ve really done
All for ourselves
And nothing for the rest
Seems thats always been
Our vile maxim
Set the system up
Lookin like they have a say
Eliminate equality
Reduce democracy
We’ll make up their beliefs
Keep thinkin that they’re free
But what we’ve really done
Reduce Democracy

Principle #3 - Redesign The Economy
We used to contribute
Manufacturing first
A proud thriving tribute
That didn't quench our thirst
Greed is most important
But none of them can know
Can't see even when you squint
The types extremely small
The worlds workers compete
Our reserves we'll protect
An international cheat
Balanced life we reject
Greed is most important
But none of them can know
Can't see even when you squint
The types extremely small
Policy is designed
To increase insecurity
Redesign redesign
Redesign the economy

Principle #5 Attack Solidarity
Solidarity, it says that ill take care of you
Take care of me when old when our kids are blossoming
Wealth says that we only look out for our own
No need to help the others since we can manage on our own
Defund the systems that don’t benefit the rich
Standard techniques to privatize are our niche
Attack and drive out all the values known as humane
Our power grows and spreads as do the impoverished
No resource no recourse
No resource no recourse

Principle #6 Run The Regulators
We’ll run the ones who are supposed to be watching us
Just a matter of time til their regulations are nebulous
We pay our ‘friends’ so that they shift law our way
Lobby, influence the powers with desire coated money
Run
We can take every chance cause our leaders will bail us out
We can run them just like we run the ones who’ll payout
We will not be wiped out by the risks we take to curtail
We don’t work the way you do we are now too big too fail
Run

Election machines
Illusion and scheme
Freedom on green screen

Principle #10 Marginalize The Population
They know they cant change
stuck under our will

cast by business hereinafter
Attack one another
look out only for themselves
theyll do what we do
without wealth and powers refuge
policy will be the shadow
cast by business hereinafter
