[Verse 1] You asked me to write a song and you were very specific You had some lines and a title that you thought could be terrific A song about the billionaires how they should pay their dues The title “I have the I hate the oligarchs blues” [Verse 2] I’m not a fan of this title I’ve got the “fill in the blank” blues. It’s been done and overdone it’s cliché and overused You’re boxed in by the format and the rhymes you get to choose I like the subject, not the title I’ve got the fill in the blank blues [Verse 2] The first and last lines are redundant, that’s the way it always is Take it from a guy who’s spent his lifetime in the biz I’m not trying to be boastful and I don’t mean to bruise I’m just saying I hate to write I’ve got the fill in the blank blues [Bridge] That being said, i’ll take a shot I’ll give it everything I’ve got I’ll try a verse - it could be worse It could be good - but maybe not It’s worth a try cause do or die, we’ve got some evil to stop [Instrumental Break] [Verse 4] I’ve got the I hate the oligarchs blues. Especially the tech bros with their gold tennis shoes They were nerds back in high school Now their t-shirts say “Geeks Rule” I’ve got the I hate the oligarch’s blues. [Verse 5] One guy’s building rockets and pretty ugly cars Wish he’d fulfill his dream of taking a rocket ship to Mars. One guy sells us everything and now he owns the news Oh and did I mention Have I got your attention Cause what’s happening is outrageous And I hope it’s contagious I’ve got a bad case of the I hate the oligarchs blues [Outro] Yes it’s a bad case Yes we’re in a bad place The hatred is systemic We’re in an epidemic It’s a bad case of the I hate the mother fuckin oligarchs blues
