David Wilcox - Who's Got Who lyrics

Said the poet on the street

It's just mental anasthesia

And it's putting us to sleep

'Cause they copy what's been copied

But they're never going to lead

They're just frightened of their market share

They're just puppets to their greed

He said, "Someone's got to change it"

And the crowd all agreed

But even boots can change your saunter

Make a humble man walk tough

A fast car'll make you impatient

Like you can't go fast enough

They offered him a talk show

He said, "Ok, what do I do."

Well you get inside the system

And the system get in you

And when you think you've got the power

Look at who's got who

"Well I'll tell you what's wrong with the country"

Said the man with the big tattoo

"It's all these priveleged politicians

Ain't that right? Ain't that true?"

I said "Yeah, you're probably right, bud

And I'll tell you what, I'll vote for you

But when you move into the White House

Tell me, what are you gonna do?"He said "I'll mind my own damn business

Have a big old barbeque"

You think you pick up power

And use it like a tool

But who's plugged into what here

And who's getting fooled?

You think you've broke the system

The system broken you

When you think you've got the power

Look at who's got who
