There’s a lot of different lefty political ways to think
And most of them think that most of them mostly stink
But maybe there’s some things we could agree on, I mean isn’t it fair to say—
We could start by taking the billionaires’ money away

Why don’t we just take the billionaire’s money away?
And spend it on shit for which millionaires say
We can’t afford to pay
We could start by taking the billionaires’ money away

There’s like, eight guys who own more than half of the whole human race
I’d like to sit down with you, and chat about just what that says
But I can’t be bothered, I’d rather be talking with people who are ready today
Ready to take those billionaires’ money away

And spend it on
Healthcare
Childcare
Transcare
Eldercare
Mental care
Dental care
Shelter
Etc.
You get the picture?

Some say we can’t do it, on account of the economy
Because rich people own more of it, so it scares investment, you see
But we’ve been doing it their way for a long time now, how’s that working out?
Okay. Then let’s innovate by taking the billionaires’ money away.

Now let’s take it up a tax bracket…

Some say we can’t do it, because the billionaires keep it all hid
But the government could find it if it wanted to, what if they did?
So if you say it can’t be done, I’m done with you, chum
Go take a billion holidays in the sun
With your friend, the Aga Khan
Or Richard Branson
Or that schmuck from Amazon
While the rest of us take the billionaires’ money away

We’re gonna take the billionaires’ money away
And spend it on shit for which millionaires say
We can’t afford to pay
We’re gonna take those billionaires’ money away
