Tips & Tricks on Politics (2005)

Lyrics

Sit back and listen to these words

About the economics of violence

The supply and demand of goods

And services as a science

When it rains a company sells you an umbrella

To protect against the rain and its wetness

But, if it stopped raining, they might go out of business

Out of business

How in the world do we make it rain when the sun is shining?

How can we improve our strategy when our sales are declining?

Let's go visit an office park where our tenant is a gun company

Planning their business objectives secretly

Safe from you and me

How in the world do we make it rain when the sun is shining?

How can we improve our sales when the overall market is declining?

Let's now attend the meeting of a local company

Specializing in home and business security

Planning to increase their sales in a market economy

We are taking suggestions from the staff

We'll start with Bruce.  What do you have?

I think we should pay some bad boys

To kill an old lady and to make some noise

Everybody at the meeting laughs

Everybody laughs...

And what about you Ken?

We can make an old movie with a new end

With a tough guy and his oversized body

He'll do anything for fame and money

Make it cool to hold a gun

Make it cool to shoot/kill everyone

Everybody at the meeting claps

Everybody claps...

How in the world do we make it rain when the sun is shining?

How can we kill the flowers in this neighborhood that are surviving?

Now we'll visit a media broadcaster

Crime scene, crime story, murder, burglary

Theft, rape, police brutality

These are the titles that shock and scare

We're getting rich off disaster

We only give what the people want

This is what they want

How in the world do we make it rain when the sun is shining?

How in the world can we bring on sorrow

To make the audience start crying?

Lastly, we'll sit in the seat of a defense weapons contractor

What we need is a civil war out there

We can sell the residents grenades and rocket launchers

Promoting the arms we all have a right to bear

We have a right to bear...

How in the world do we make it rain when the sun is shining?

How can we reverse these market trends

That are killing and dividing?
