Market-driven forces   Are the way we'll save the earth   We just have to ascertain   Exactly how much it's all worth   So we put a price on pollution   And now we've got lots more   We privatized the hospitals   And they stopped servicing the poor      We privatized the schools   And watched the test scores plummet   Then we recounted our success   At a corporate summit   We privatized the prisons   And watched the riots flare   Deregulated industry   Created many a billionaire      We removed that federal oversight   And watched Enron crash about   So we did the same with the utilities   And then the power all went out   With such a stellar record   We opened wide our eyes   Looking for some other things   We could privatize      So our next plan of action   For something calling out for correction   Is this complicated process   that we call elections   So our new proposal   For some of your consideration   Is that we do away with polling booths   And let's just have an auction      (Chorus)   Sold to the highest bidder   It's the road map to prosperity   Sold to the highest bidder   'Cause what's good enough for Halliburton (etc.)   Is good enough for me      Just think of the advantages   So many you can choose   No more lines at polling stations   No more ballots you can lose   No more lying politicians   Just honest CEO's   Following the wisdom of the market   Wherever it goes      It would eliminate the middleman   And we'd just have a direct line   No more wasted time with congressmen   Who we have to wine and dine   It could all be so very simple   Over in one day   When we just choose our leader   Based on who has the most to pay      (Chorus)      There'd be no more special interests   No need to scrub a voter roll   We would not have to listen   To all those mothers on the dole   We would have no problem   Telling them to tighten up their collars   'Cause we'd be following the dictates   Of the almighty dollars      You can waste your time with senators   Or judges in the court   But the man with the most money   Is the one we should support   This is clearly the way forward   I tell you with aplomb   Just think of Silverado   Exxon and WorldCom      (Chorus)
