Who's Got Who Lyrics - David Wilcox

from Unreleased 

.............................................. 

"Kill your television." 

Said the poet on the street 

It's just mental anasthesia 

And it's putting us to sleep 

'Cause they copy what's been copied 

But they're never going to lead 

They're just frightened of their market share 

They're just puppets to their greed 

He said, "Someone's got to change it" 

And the crowd all agreed 

But even boots can change your saunter 

Make a humble man walk tough 

A fast car'll make you impatient 

Like you can't go fast enough 

They offered him a talk show 

He said, "Ok, what do I do." 

Well you get inside the system 

And the system get in you 

And when you think you've got the power 

Look at who's got who 

"Well I'll tell you what's wrong with the country" 

Said the man with the big tattoo 

"It's all these priveleged politicians 

Ain't that right? Ain't that true?" 

I said "Yeah, you're probably right, bud 

And I'll tell you what, I'll vote for you 

But when you move into the White House 

Tell me, what are you gonna do?"He said "I'll mind my own damn business 

Have a big old barbeque" 

You think you pick up power 

And use it like a tool 

But who's plugged into what here 

And who's getting fooled? 

You think you've broke the system 

The system broken you 

When you think you've got the power 

Look at who's got who
