Lyrics:

red and blue
left and right
is all the choice
that we're supplied

to a side 
we all align 
then blindly follow
as they lie 

it's in our nature 
to divide
we must belong
to a chosen side

we argue issues
that are never raised
beyond the walls
of the fools they play 

I flip a coin to choose my side
tails I'm left
heads I'm right 
it matters not
with whom I align 
both puppets strings get pulled
by the same empire 

The greedy greenback boar has teeth 
that sink much deeper than you'd believe 
It has two mask it hides behind
it changes them from time to time 

As it moves money left and right 
its mask will change and cover sight
of the greedy greenbacks greedy gaze
that goes unseen by the pawns they play 

the constitution, bill of rights
are museum pieces they push aside
amend amendments
make wrongs right 
for the people 
by the people 
greenback will decide
