Lyrics
V/1
Don't respect the status quo
Can't defend their moral code
Gotta pull the plug on this broken down machine
Doin' well with their marketing crap
Airing 24/7 twisting this and that
as they represent the red white blue and green
But behind the curtain of their lobbyist cause...
If you look real close...it's the Wizard of Oz....
Chorus 1:
Spin Dorothy - spin spin spin
Keep you dizzy long enough to win
Keep you walking on that road of yellow brick
Burn scarecrow - burn burn burn
Keep you busy or you just might learn
Keep you thinkin' that you'll never understand it...keep walkin' on that yellow brick
V/2
Calling people a radical force
Who have the nerve to stay the course
Who won't give up or play the other side
In a world gone mad and controlled by greed
They try to sell us, tell us what we need
With an arrogance and a wicked sense of pride
But behind the curtain of their lobbyist cause...
If you look real close...it's the Wizard of Oz....
Chorus 2:
Cry Tin Man - cry cry cry
Keep you rusty just to buy some time
Keep you from gettin' too close to the heart of the matter
Run Lion - run run run
Keep you frightened and a little undone
Keep you from roaring...'n standing up to the chatter... keep you on that yellow brick
Instrumental straight into bridge
Bridge
Wake up people to the simple truth
You have the power and the Ruby shoes
Still the clock goes tick tick tick - but we never click click click
...get off this road...get off this road"...
Chorus 3:
Spin Dorothy - spin spin spin
Keep you dizzy long enough to win
Burn scarecrow - burn burn burn
Keep you busy or you just might learn
Cry Tin Man - cry cry cry
Keep you rusty just to buy some time
Run Lion - run run run
Keep you frightened......on this road of yellow brick
