Don't Blame the Billionaire

V5.5

[Verse 1] Zuckerberg said the robots are coming Musk said don't worry, I got a plan Bezos said your job's already gone, friend While they're funding a rocket to Mars, if they can [Verse 2] They said your taxes gonna pay for the transition Said the AI needs a bailout too Said "sorry 'bout your pension, that's just competition" Then they pointed at the border and said "look, it's you" [Chorus] Don't blame the billionaire, blame the guy who mows your lawn Don't blame the shareholder, blame the guy who's cleaning your john It's easier to hate a face that looks like it don't belong Than to ask why the man who fired you is still singing this song [Verse 3] Now Carlos didn't build the algorithm Carlos didn't lay you off through email Carlos ain't the one who moved the profits offshore While you're working three jobs and he's catching hell [Bridge] Funny how the fear always points down Never up Never at the guy with the yacht and the Senate on speed dial Always at the guy who just wants a green card and a Tuesday off [Verse 4] They'll say "immigrants took your factory" Then they'll open a factory with no one in it at all Just servers humming where your buddy used to weld And a billionaire's voice on the intercom wall [Chorus] Don't blame the billionaire, blame the guy who mows your lawn Don't blame the shareholder, blame the guy who's cleaning your john It's easier to hate a face that looks like it don't belong Than to ask why the man who fired you is still singing this song [Outro] [half-spoken] They said AI's coming, ain't nothing you can do Said your taxes'll fund it, and Mexicans'll screw you Two headlines, one hand pulling both strings Funny how the puppet never questions anything
