The Biggest Political Con of the Last Century Unmasked
The biggest con of the last century — now unmasked, They took our future, sold it off for stocks and gas
[Verse 1]
We were told we could all rise, just work and toe the line
One job bought a house and dreams, now two can’t even buy time
They sold us tax breaks wrapped in lies, said it’s freedom when we bleed
While they looted every pocket and watched the middle class recede
[Pre-Chorus]
They called it trickle-down, but nothing ever flowed
Just a golden road to ruin, and we walked it all alone
[Chorus]
The biggest con of the last century — now unmasked
They took our future, sold it off for stocks and gas
While we were working double shifts to just survive the blast
They rewrote the rules and laughed — behind a billionaire's mask
[Verse 2]
They ran the debt up sky-high, said “sorry, we’re broke”
But still found cash for bombs and yachts and oil-soaked smoke
They blamed the hungry and the sick for all the nation's pain
Then handed out our pensions like monopoly in flames
[Pre-Chorus]
They told us "freedom" means you're on your own, don't cry
But the safety net they burned held all our dreams inside
[Chorus]
The biggest con of the last century — now unmasked
From Reagan's Santa fable to the rich man’s final laugh
They fed us crumbs and slogans while they stole the golden calf
Now we’re digging through the ashes of a shattered middle class
[Bridge]
Did you vote for this collapse, or were you sold the lie?
That billionaires are patriots while teachers barely get by
Was it greed, or was it treason, or just power’s rotten spell?
Whatever it was, it’s working — and it's dragging us to hell
[Chorus]
The biggest con of the last century — unmasked tonight
They turned the stars and stripes into a neon casino light
While we fund their rockets, they cut meals and school supplies
Now the truth is out, and baby, it’s a hell of a sight
[Outro]
So we sing this not for sorrow, but for fire and for truth
To name the thief, to claim our past, and fight back for our youth
The mask is off — the lie is dead — the reckoning is due
The biggest con of the last century won’t steal our future too
