Chuck D - Bernie Got Berned lyrics
[Produced by C-Doc] [Intro] "They're not sending their best, they're sending people that have lots of problems." [Verse 1: Chuck D] Who Gots the damn nerve to pick a winner Artillery ready to k** you and me, who deliver- Ing, this camp pain from the campaign WTF, OMG, back to what the f** they saying Counted down, ain't listening to me Check 1-2, gotcha vote, media TV But now after the math come the aftermath, y'all Wall Street got ya streets by the balls Beyond Trump, Hill, swallow this bitter pill Political machine had its Listerine k**er Mike informed to Bern the platform Ran them j**els then them banksters swarmed Secretary of Hate, neocon Satan E-mails got the USA government ma** debatin' Evolution meltdown, fifty states So the revolution just gotta wait? [Hook] Bern, Bernie got Berned Bernie got Berned, Bernie got Berned Bernie got Berned, Bernie got Berned Bernie got Berned, Bernie got Berned Bernie got Berned, Bernie got Berned Bernie got Berned, Bernie got Berned Bernie got Berned, Bernie got Berned Bernie got Berned [Interlude] "I feel sorry sometimes for the young people, you know, believe this..." [Verse 2: Jahi] Two system party is on its last leg Bernie got burned, yeah, you heard what I said Now we got Ms. k**iry and Mr. Daffy Dump What the f** is going on, I smell a stink bomb More trickery and thievery going on Bernie had the people, they was coming on strong But they burned out that fire, all a pack of liars Trying to put the clamp on us like some pliers Think it's a game, smoking that Demo-crack Repulsive Republi-crackas stay the hell back It's war to the core, more war on the poor More "put your hands up and get your a** on the floor" Bernie couldn't even save the day Apple pie and poli-tricks, it's the American way Tax, loopholes, and e-mails, what the hell Had a better candidate, but smell what I smell? [Hook] Bern, Bernie got Berned Bernie got Berned, Bernie got Berned Bernie got Berned, Bernie got Berned Bernie got Berned, Bernie got Berned Bernie got Berned, Bernie got Berned Bernie got Berned, Bernie got Berned Bernie got Berned, Bernie got Berned Bernie got Berned [Verse 3: C-Doc] Welcome to the circus, tell me how to jerk this lever to vote Though I gotta wonder what's the purpose I gotta choose between no choice at all I can't call when they open their mouths and I'm appalled And Bernie got burnt, and who's left in this Like I gotta choose between two flavors of sh** On can't Miss TV, the farce fillin' my screen And how did we get to a point this obscene, wanna scream? My team got booted in the playoffs So hear me 'cause I wanted Team Sanders playin' in the World Series Instead I gotta watch 'em run the country up the flagpole One's a politician and the other is an a**hole Neither can be trusted in the least Election 2016 not between a beauty and the beast For Commander-in-Chief as they lie to my eyeline I'mma take a stand for Sanders while I'm standing on the sidelines Burn [Interlude] "It is our job to figure out what happened, and everything we can to prevent it from ever happening again." [Verse 4: Marcus J] Let me get this straight in my head You knew the questions before they were said You knew the questions before they were heard Politics be the Theater of the Absurd Knew what to say before you took the stage These kind of lies make America rage Again and again, we still haven't learned So we felt the heat when Bernie got burned Our leaders seem to love playing with fire But 100 percent won't admit they a liar Perhaps they simply misremember f** that, I'mma stay gone 'til November [Hook] Bern, Bernie got Berned Bernie got Berned, Bernie got Berned Bernie got Berned, Bernie got Berned Bernie got Berned, Bernie got Berned Bernie got Berned, Bernie got Berned Bernie got Berned, Bernie got Berned Bernie got Berned, Bernie got Berned Bernie got Berned [Interlude] "When we say 'we,' you are stupid"
