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!
