Profiting Agent Lyrics
Verse 1
Here to set the record straight
Upgrade My Country is who you should hate
Filling you with dreams of change
Truth is their leader Tony Zorc is deranged
Do ya think, working in Washington is fun?
‘Round here, who ya think? Gets thingz done?
Let me give you a little clue
It’s people like me and my crew!
Chorus
Now you don’t hate the player
You hate the game!
For our country's dysfunction
I’m not to blame
Job somewhere else
Wouldn’t be the same
Tell us why!
It just doesn’t pay as good!
Chorus
Now you don’t hate the player
You hate the game!
For our country's dysfunction
I’m not to blame
Job somewhere else
Wouldn’t be the same
Tell us why!
It just doesn’t pay as good!
Verse 2
By now, Probably wondering who I am
Work for people with money and are in a jam
Stupid laws are getting in their way
And politicians? They get paid to play!
That’s where, People like Bo hire me
They buy my services for fee
I ensure the Congress votes their way
For this now a big price they're willing to pay!
Chorus
But you don’t hate the player
You hate the game!
For our country's dysfunction
I’m not to blame
Job somewhere else
Wouldn’t be the same
Tell us why!
It just doesn’t pay as good!
Chorus
But you don’t hate the player
You hate the game!
For our country's dysfunction
I’m not to blame
Job somewhere else
Wouldn’t be the same
Tell us why!
It just doesn’t pay as good!
Verse 3
My title, Lobbyist, lawyer, accountant
Marketer, Manager of a special nonprofit
Shape shifting is my specialty!
I make sure the voters can’t see clearly
I’ve been educated by the best
My ivy league degrees, make it no contest
Using my talents I can charge a high fee
Come on, Gotta live comfortably!
Chorus
But you don’t hate the player
You hate the game!
For our country's dysfunction
I’m not to blame
Job somewhere else
Wouldn’t be the same
Tell us why!
It just doesn’t pay as good!
Chorus
But you don’t hate the player
You hate the game!
For our country's dysfunction
I’m not to blame
Job somewhere else
Wouldn’t be the same
Tell us why!
It just doesn’t pay as good!
Bridge
As a college intern I got a taste of this town
Really like the weather here, Nice year round
Could use my talents another way
But our broken system of bribery is here to stay!
I know what I’m doing is morally wrong
But the depth of our corruption is just too strong!
But profiting off a broken system doesn’t mean I’ve got a bad heart
Well, it just means I’m smart! so,
Chorus
So, you don’t hate the player
You hate the game!
For our country's dysfunction
I’m not to blame
Job somewhere else
Wouldn’t be the same
Tell us why!
It just doesn’t pay as good!
Chorus
But you don’t hate the player
You hate the game!
For our country's dysfunction
I’m not to blame
Job somewhere else
Wouldn’t be the same
Tell us why!
It just doesn’t pay as good!
