I ain’t selling no Bibles

I ain’t selling my soul

I’m telling the truth

And I tell it whole

Because I am a scientist

Pursuing knowledge all day

Now Ellen wants to come and take my funding away

Lord it’s a damn shame

What the world’s gotten to you

For people like me and people like you

Congress should just wake up and it would not be true

But it is oh it is

Living in the real world

Where 2+2 is four

Rich men under Elon lord knows

They just want to have more

So they got the IRS

And the SSA

In the NIH

Taking Science away

Your dollar ain’t shit

And it’s getting much worse

With bitcoin

In the strategic reserve

I wish billionaires cared about Science

And not just rocket to do some planet somewhere

Folks on the street ain’t got nothing to eat

While the oligarchs are milking welfare

God if you’re half a trillionaire

And you’re 300 pounds

Taxes aren’t not pay

To watch your rockets fall down

Young men puttin CEOs 6 feet underground

Because all this damn system does is keep pushing us down

Lord it’s a damn shame

What’s the world’s gotten to

For people like me and people like you

Congress could just wake up and it would all be through

Living in the real world

Where 2+2 = 4

Rich men under Elon lord knows

They just want to have total control

Over the CDC

And the CFPB

And the SEC

To let the scammers go free

Your dollar ain’t shit

They’re making it much worse

With fucking Cardano

In the strategic reserve
