But It Ain't

[Intro]

It sounds so good... free stuff for all.

But check the facts, watch the empires fall.

[Verse 1]

Socialism sounds great, always has, always will,

But beyond the rhetoric, it's a bitter pill.

Venezuela's starving, no toilet paper, no beer,

Power cuts in the dark, families living in fear.

Triple-digit inflation, lines for food so long,

Young cheers for Bernie, but they got it all wrong.

Companies vanishing, exploitation's gone?

Nah, just poverty rising from dusk till dawn.

[Chorus]

Socialism for the uninformed!

(It sounds great, but it ain't, no!)

Ringing slogans, endless lies,

Facts get buried, truth denies.

Socialism for the uninformed!

(It sounds great, but it crashes down!)

Something for nothing, rigged system cry,

But hard facts hit, watch the dream die!

[Verse 2]

Marx said capitalists exploit the working man,

But Marxist regimes? Starvation's the plan.

No facts contaminate the left's beautiful view,

"The system's rigged!"—but what proof do you spew?

Rich lost billions in '15, couldn't rig it right,

Minimum wage hikes? Jobs vanish overnight.

Black youth unemployment soared to the sky,

Can't climb the ladder if you never even try.

[Chorus]

Socialism for the uninformed!

(It sounds great, but it ain't, no!)

Ringing slogans, endless lies,

Facts get buried, truth denies.

Socialism for the uninformed!

(It sounds great, but it crashes down!)

Something for nothing, rigged system cry,

But hard facts hit, watch the dream die!

[Bridge]

(Slow build with heavy bass and drums, then explode into distortion)

Tax the rich more? Revenue falls through the floor,

Investors flee overseas, jobs out the door.

Dumbed-down schools don't teach you to think,

Global economy's harsh, watch the fortunes sink.

It's not rocket science, just stop and see,

The promise of free? It's a fantasy.

Before the disaster, wake up and fight,

Capitalism lifts, socialism bites!

[Chorus - Outro]

Socialism for the uninformed!

(It sounds great, but it ain't, no!)

Ringing slogans, endless lies,

Facts get buried, truth denies.

Socialism for the uninformed!

(It sounds great, but it crashes down!)

End the illusion, face the real deal,

Human freedom wins, that's the raw appeal!

(Fade with repeating "It ain't!")
