If It’s Good for the Economy, I’m for It

If genocide is good for the economy, then I am for it
If genocide is bad for the economy, then I'm against it
If health care for all is good for the economy, then I am for it
If health care for all is bad for the economy, then I'm against it

If environmental devastation is good for the economy, then I am for it
If environmental devastation is bad for the economy, then imp against it
If going to war is good for the economy, then I am for it
If going to war is bad for the economy, then I'm against it

This country's gears can't slow down
At any cost to anyone they must sound
Bankers' fortunes and power cravings too to this machine are bound
So this country's gears can't slow down

They keep selling us a rotten deal
And I'm getting more than sick of it
Because the suffering it brings
Far outweighs the minor benefits

The death of our health, the death of our dreams
The death of this world that we lease
The death of breathing life back into
The long dead corpse we once called "peace"
