Stairway to Congress

 

There's a man who is sure that some leverage is gold
and he's building a stairway to congress
when he gets there he knows, that the doors are not closed
with some words, he can get what he paid for
oooh, ooooh, and he is buying a stairway to congress  

There's a sign on the door, and he knocks to be sure
'cause sometimes there's a meeting in progress
in the office they talk, and the deals that are forged
sometimes politics are really dirty

ooh it makes me wonder  
ooh, makes me question  

There's a feeling I get when I'm watching the news
and my spirit is really resentful
in my thoughts I have seen coffee-money that rings
legislation's are carefully crafted

ooh it makes me wonder
ooh, really makes me question    

And we're told to accept, the excessive donations  
it's a part of the donors arrangements
in the media complex, of industrial scale
spindoctores will echo with laughter  

whoaaa, oho oho oho ohoo  

If there's a bustle in your wordings, don't be alarmed now
there be elucidations in the media
yes there are two parties you can buy into, but in the long run
there's still time to change your funding
and it makes me wonder

oooh, ooh ooh, oh oh

Your head is humming and it won't go, in case you don't know
Joe Biden's calling you to join him   
dear tycoon can you hear the progressives, and did you know
your stairway lies on diminishing rate

And as you wind down on the road
with falling profit rates around
the oligarchs we all know
extracting money from above
but not enough meritocracy
and if you listen very hard
the liberals will get to you at last
the Nordic Model yet to come     
a real inclusive economy

And he's buying a stairway to congress.
