In answer to your "But why?" question Joe:

Do you suppose the 1% react with glee and mirth
As they're making obscene fortunes from the rape of Mother Earth
They've been greedy piglets from the moment of their birth
Nothing matters to them but their personal net worth

They're making filthy lucre off the backs of the working poor
They think that's what us commoners were put on this earth for
Know matter how much wealth accrued they still think they need more
Why, if there's a dollar to be made, they'll even start a war

Koch Brothers and Waltons and Haliburton too
They think they own the government and I suppose they do
But we need to take it back from them and tell them they are through
"cause Woody taught me that this land was meant for me and you
