lyrics

Everything has a price
Your outrage is directed at a horrible man
With a red tie, soft hands
Strange plans even he don't understand

The same blood money funds the old rich blue leaders
They're just as good as cheaters
Nearly perfect slight of hand
While you march in the street
They're gathering to eat
And slap each other's backs in a five-star hotel

Media monopolies, Neo-liberal policies
Got us where we are right now

It's really not complex
It's not religion or your sex
It's the money every goddamned time

Bernie was right
I feel it in my heart when I go to bed at night
Bernie was right
He tried to pick us up and lead us to the light
Bernie was right
Only honesty and decency are gonna win this fight
Bernie was right
It's not about a leader
Alright

When they get behind closed doors
They joke and laugh at death and war
I've seen it for myself no lie

Instead of picking sides
I just wanna run and hide
We've collectively lost our minds

Bernie was right
I feel it in my heart when I go to bed at night
Bernie was right
He tried to pick us up and lead us to the light
Bernie was right
Only honesty and decency are gonna win this fight
Bernie was right
It's not about a leader
It's everyone
