Political Song of the Day - Robin Hood in Reverse by Bad Religion
Bad Religion has always been the standard bearers for thinking man's punk rock. They obviously frequently sing of religion, but this song hits upon the Supreme Court and the ridiculousness of the Citizens United decision. That monumentally inconceivable ruling opened the floodgates of even more dark money into the already corrupt political process. Despite his apparent love of his own voice, Antonin Scalia will not be looked up kindly by history. In his eyes, money is free speech. And the more money you have, the more speech you get.
Robin Hood in Reverse by Bad Religion
Here is the church
There is the steeple
Open up the door
Corporations are people
Wait what did he say?
What the fuck did he say?
It couldn't last
They had to crash
Some parties are just made that way
But when the bell rings
The boys will sing
Swing low sweet precariat
Let's say we try to get this right
Said the plutocrat to jesus christ
And when the old fox fearing the worst
Made his entrance in a hearse
Then the nine in black robes all went berserk
This is a tale of robin hood in reverse
Citizens united
I was excited
When the kids are united they can never be divided
But that was yesterday
There's a brand new sham to today
Let's say we try to get this right
Said the plutocrat to jesus christ
And when the old fox fearing the worst
Made his entrance in a hearse
Then the nine in black robes all went berserk
This is a tale of robin hood in reverse
