'Robbing You Blind'
'Robbing You Blind'
'Robbing You Blind'
VERSE ONE:
Working your fingers down deep to the bone.
Taxman comes calling won’t leave you alone.
Lawmaker taking away from the poor.
Iceman at night knocking down neighbor’s door.
CHORUS:
Behind every fortune
There is a crime.
Hide behind laws while
They’re stealing your dime.
Yeah, they’re robbing you.
Robbing you. Robbing you, blind.
VERSE TWO:
Hide in broad daylight. They ain’t Robin Hood.
Show pearly whites though they’re up to no good.
Promise assistance, then stab you behind.
More pearly whites till their crime leaves your mind.
CHORUS:
Behind every fortune
There is a crime.
Hide behind laws while
They’re stealing your dime.
Yeah, they’re robbing you.
Robbing you. Robbing you, blind.
BRIDGE:
A return to the Gilded Age.
Pennies per hour
Is your daily wage.
Rich man gets richer.
Poor man stays poor.
They take your house.
Kick you out the door.
Put you in the poor man’s cage.
Return to the Gilded Age.
CHORUS:
Behind every fortune
There is a crime.
Hide behind laws while
They’re stealing your dime.
Yeah, they’re robbing you.
Robbing you. Robbing you, blind.
Yeah, they’re robbing you.
Robbing you. Robbing you, blind.
'The Upside Down'
'Robbing You Blind'
'Robbing You Blind'
VERSE ONE:
The king, he has stored up some matches.
Gathered tinder, he’s started to strike.
Forget how he’s hurt the young maidens.
He does what he wants. Does what he likes.
CHORUS:
Fear I’ve walked straight into… The upside down.
All that I’ve known has been turned… Right around.
Told I’m to follow the… Crooked King Clown.
He has been crowned
In this world… Upside down.
VERSE TWO:
First thing he destroys are small houses.
Divided, they’re easy to fall.
He’s on the prowl for small mouses.
We the people don’t mean we the all.
CHORUS:
Fear I’ve walked straight into… The upside down.
All that I’ve known has been turned… Right around.
Told I’m to follow the… Crooked King Clown.
He has been crowned
In this world… Upside down.
BRIDGE:
Where I come from, we ain’t got no Kings.
So don’t drop to your knees
For this gold-loving fraud.
He ain’t no Savior.
No.
He ain’t no God.
He ain’t no Savior.
No.
He ain’t no God.
With the good book he's got turned around
In this world…
Upside Down.
CHORUS:
Fear I’ve walked straight into… The upside down.
All that I’ve known has been turned… Right around.
Told I’m to follow the… Crooked King Clown.
He has been crowned
In this world… Upside down.
I’ve walked straight into… The upside down.
The upside down.
