Estranged Careerists of the Corporate Black Cash-hounds (CBC)

Once, they shouted, āSay it loud, Iām Black and Iām proud!ā
Now, their actions say it loud, āWeāre in the Cayman Crowdā¦ā
Our airās polluted, our waterās fracked,
Schools shuttered and homes jacked
As the Jesse Jr. and Unca Jim ilk
Spin pain into Rolex, and silkā¦
Hearts transplanted with tweezers
For cold cash stashed in freezersā

Capitalist Hill is their IndieGoGoā¦
They huff and puff ābout fluffy stuff,
When warmongeringās not enoughā¦
