lyrics

Politicians think they are smarter than you
Insult intelligence to warp what’s true
They hope you don’t hear all the words that are said
Do what they want long as your full of dread
It’s a race to the bottom and all he wants to beat Is you
Don’t care what you need all they want to beat is you

The country's expecting a moron to lead
Corporate America’s buying his greed
Auctioning off our nation’s soul
Lining his pockets with profits he stole
It’s a race to the bottom and all he wants to beat is you
Don’t care what we need all they want to beat is you

It matters what’s said and what's been seen
The words from your mouth are crude and obscene
Hatred and lies are his currency
Bigotry won over morality
It’s a race to the bottom and all he wants to beat is you
Don’t care what you need all they want to beat is you

I want to live a life full of love
Joy and peace isn't unheard of
We come from so far and near
Empathy fights all the hatred and fear
It’s a race to the bottom and all they wants to beat is you
No more race to the bottom, we’re gonna rise above you
