Oh you dazzled us with your graphs and charts, we put our trust in you
So we got that house and bought those stocks to pull us through
How come nobody gave us warning?
How come nobody reined them in?
Now I'm lost with no job, no future
And the bank's come to take away our home

"We're on the brink!," 13 bankers cried, so we bailed them out
What's good for Wall Street is good for you, oh, but what a rout!
At the mercy of all these con men
Bolder now - way too big to fail
And all these vultures keep circling round
But they're not going to take away our home!

Who's that guardin’ the henhouse?
Wheelin' and a'dealin'
Movin' up the ranks
That power, what a feelin'
Thanks to the banks

So admit that you're addicted,
Always gimme, gimme more
From Wall Street back and forth to the Senate floor
it's gimme more, through the revolving door

I pound the pavement, I wrack my brain, time is runnin' out
I love my wife and I love my kids, but the tension mounts
Who are you to come serve us papers?
Bailed you out - had you on your knees
Want to break up this rigged casino
Put democracy back on its feet!

But there's a fox in the henhouse
Wheelin' and a'dealin',
Movin' up the ranks
That power, what a feelin'
Thanks to the banks
So admit that you're addicted,
Always gimme, gimme more
From Wall Street back and forth to the Senate floor,
it's gimme more, through the revolving door

There's a whole lot of angry people
Just trying to make it through the day
And there's a whole lot of money up there
But nothin’ seems to come our way

Though we’re droppin’ fast, just barely middle class
There's strength in numbers, don't you know?
Gonna' find my role, gonna' take control
And oh you’re gonna’ hear us loud and clear – loud and clear

When there's no fox in the henhouse
Gonna' vote you out of office
Show you to the door
Hit the eject button on the corporate whore

And we’ll be bobbin’ and a’weavin’
Movin’ up the ranks
That power, what a feelin'
No thanks to the banks

I admit this is addictive
Won’t you gimme, gimme more?
‘Til Main Street is the voice of the Senate floor,
So gimme’ more,
To open the doors

Keep your eye on the prize
And together we rise
