[ song will load and play automatically ]


       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 *


     * Inspired by Mass Murderers In High Places.
