Lyrics
U.S. STEAL

They call me U.S. Steal
Twenty-first century fox sound bite
Who gives a damn what’s true or false
Long as it leans to the right?
Add a token liberal, pretend I’m fair
A bimbo for some sex appeal
I'm busy oilin’ up the corporation wheel
And they call me U.S. Steal, U.S. Steal

They call me U.S Steal
Carnegie sins, fifth generation
Incite illegal war, ignore the poor
Forget health and education
Promise not to leave any child behind
Fresh air, green tree or baby seal
Gonna drill Alaska a new raw deal
And they call me U.S. Steal

They call me U.S. Steal
Rockefeller/Ford assembly line
Gonna’ bust the workin’ people’s unions up
Put 'em back on eighteen-hour time
Privatize hard-earned retirement funds
Guess what happens when the markets reel
Multi-trillion dollar debt I’ll soon reveal
They call me U.S. Steal, U.S. Steal

Well, they call me U.S. Steal
Bush hackin' wackin' war machine
My sham patriotic war drum beat
Keeps profiteer's pockets full of green
Drink pollution’s cup ‘till the well runs dry
Bankrupt Uncle Sam with my tax repeal
I just may be human history’s biggest heel
Yeah, they call me U.S. Steal

They call me U.S. Steal
That’s S - T - E - A - L
I steal from children, widows and the poor
I steal from the middle class as well
Human and Civil Rights will disappear
World War III will soon be very real
Hey, I’m carryin’ the presidential seal
They call me U.S. Steal, U.S. Steal
U.S. Steal, U.S. Steal, U.S. Steal
