A healthy democracy needs informed voters, so listen up as The Boss lays down the Rules Of The Game:
Freedom to choose is just a ruse I use
Vote any way you want, bet you I will never lose.
Democracy is fine for picking a mayor
But in the Big Game you'll never be a player
I make the rules, you fools are just tools
Shut up, get back to work, just be a taxpayer.
It's not about your future, it's about my interests
The fate of your country is none of your business
You're blinded, simple-minded
I decide, and then you get behind it
I hope that's perfectly clear:
Don't make me have to start shooting in here.
Know the Rules Of The Game
