<\/a>Please let me tell you,
\nThey own our homes, they own our banks
\nWe take out loans to buy them tanks
\nThey own our children, they own our pets
\nThe owned Elvis and Bernhard Goetz
\nThey own our rugs and our flower pots
\nThere ain’t nothin’ they haven’t got
\nThey own the papers and the TV’s
\nThe water works, record companies <\/p>\n

Let me remind you,
\nThey own the talk shows
\nThey make the rules
\nThey own Geraldo and Donahue
\nThey own the state, they own the church
\nThey pick the winners on Star Search
\nThey own the Christians, they own the Jews
\nThey own the Moslems, Mormons, too
\nThey put the holes in our socks
\nThey put that snake in my mail box <\/p>\n

From the halls of Montezuma, to the shores of Tripoli
\nWe are all tools of the conspiracy
\nFrom the littlest baby to the biggest V.I.P.
\nWe are all tools of the conspiracy <\/p>\n

Run to the window, they’re coming to get you
\nHide in the basement, they’re coming to get you
\nFlee to the rooftop, they’re coming to get you
\nDon’t go outside, no don’t let them get you <\/p>\n

Someone should tell you,
\nThey own the CIA and the IRS
\nThey tell us where to shop and how to dress
\nThey own the workers, they own the boss
\nThey know what’s in the secret sauce
\nThey own the drugs, they own the narcs
\nWe all know they own Dick Clark
\nThey own it all, they own everything
\nThey write the songs that make the whole world sing <\/p>\n

From the halls of Montezuma, to the shores of Tripoli
\nWe are all tools of the conspiracy
\nFrom the littlest baby to the biggest V.I.P.
\nWe are all tools of the conspiracy <\/p>\n
