[Verse 1]
B A B A
The state is just a baby spoiled with lollipops and bubblegum
B A B A F#
And it will never give you some unless you take it away
B A B A
The state is just a royal brat who wants you to give, but won’t give back
B A B A F#
Builds a fortress in the hills and never comes to play
[Bridge]
E B F# B
You toil to send some water up, he sends you down with drops
E B F# B
His bully thugs will pound you down and spin you like a top
E B F# B
A button war, a color war, he’s captured all the flags
E B
But only we can cry aloud:
[Chorus]
B A B A
olly-olly-oxen-free!
B A B A
olly-olly-oxen-free!
[Verse 2]
B A B A
The president’s a motley mix of ruling parties’ politics
B A B A F#
A trickster in a two-faced mask who entertains us all
B A B A
The company will lend a hand, pull his strings, make him dance
B A B A F#
Strike the bell! Time to stand, for pyramids to fall
[Bridge]
E B F# B
So cast your ballot in the box like money down the aisle
E B F# B
The bankers and the barons have been the killers all the while
E B F# B
An oil war, a holy war, it’s just a different flag
E B
I’d love to see the game end with an
[Chorus]
B A B A
olly-olly-oxen-free!
B A B A
olly-olly-oxen-free!
B A B A
olly-olly-oxen-free!
B A B A
olly-olly-oxen-free!
