Rhetoric - The Swamp Lyrics

Let me tell you
'Bout a place I know
Down the river
Into the swamp we go
Through the halls of congress
And the streets of DC
Dirtiest swamp
You ever done seen
Dirty money flows
Like the murky water
They swim in wealth
We'll drown in squalor
Empty promises
Echo through the air
Reeks of corruption
A slimy affair
Another dollar, another day
Spend and waste their lives away
Oh no don't question, what's the need
There's no end to the bleed
Take a ride
Down through the swamp
Where the beast
Gets what he wants
Where the beast
Gets what he wants
O' the beast!!!
Takes what he wants!!!
Creatures of the swamp
Wear suits and ties
Feeding on your trust
With deceitful eyes
They don't give a damn
'Bout your sons and daughters
Careful what you find
Don't look no farther
Fed to the snakes
Fed to the gators
We've been betrayed by
Cowards and traitors
Our bait's been cast
(cast, cast, cast)
In to the water
But the truth is
We are just fodder
Take a ride
Down through the swamp
Where the beast
Gets what he wants
Where the beast
Gets what he wants
O' the beast
Takes what he wants!
Take a ride
Down through the swamp
Where the beast
Gets what he wants
(Take a ride through the swamp)
Where the beast
Gets what he wants
(Take a ride through the swamp)
O' the beast
Takes what he wants!
What he wants
Takes what he wants
O' the beast takes what he wants!
