We’re Working Hard For You

Working Hard for You is a satirical rock anthem that channels the spirit of 60’s/70’s protest music while skewering modern political hypocrisy. With biting verses that trace corruption from past scandals to present power, the song builds toward a sarcastic, chant like chorus where Congress brags about how they are working hard for us while doing nothing but lining their pockets.

Verse
They used to go to prison
For corruption, taking bribes
And now they stay in power
Where the law is not applied
They do not have to work
But get paid just the same
Passing laws that hurt us
And never taking blame

Chorus
We’re working hard for you
It’s what we do
We’re working hard for you
We thought you knew
We’re working hard for you
On your dime
We’re working hard for you
While doing crimes

Verse
They preach about our morals 
While hiding all their sins 
Condemning what they practice 
The cycle never ends
Their scandals fill the record
From Teapot Dome till now
And no one’s there to stop them
As corruption takes a bow

Bridge
When perversion climbs the highest
And justice takes a plunge
The crooks are made our leaders
The halls we can’t expunge

Chorus
We’re working hard for you
It’s what we do
We’re working hard for you
We thought you knew
We’re working hard for you
On your dime
We’re working hard for you
While doing crimes

Outro
The higher up you take your seat
The more crimes you commit
And if you win the white house
The Supreme Court will submit
