you point your finger
it so easy to do
just remember
there are three pointing right back at you
you set yourself up
you're the only one to blame
still you never see it coming
and the result is always the same
when the party's over and everyone is gone
there's a ringing in your ears that lingers on
you feel bamboozled, hoodwinked, fooled, and swindled
you been conned
you been conned
defeated, beated, cheated, you been conned
I gotta a swamp for sale in Miami
a bridge in Williamsburg
tell you a touching story
and make up every single word
you listen quite intently
not like you got much of a choice
cause I'm the one with the microphone and I got the loudest voice
And I say eat the rich
Eat the rich with milk and honey
Let them eat cake and we'll take their money
Time to stretch out the rack
And crack the whip
The crucifix's out back
I'm done with this shit
I know a guy with a guillotine
Slice off their heads nice and clean
We got Sig Sauer for the firing line
The finest snipers money can buy
There's a scaffold for hanging and praise the lord
Old sparky has found his extension cord
So let's waterboard some CEOs
Break some fingers, cut off some toes
Pull out their nails
Each time a bank fails
There should be a bloodletting for betting on stocks
Stocks! that's where these cocks should be
Right in the center of town
Where everyone can see
Mock and shame and break their crown
So all you billionaires come on down
Bring your friends all your kin and heirs
And be saved by your own thoughts and prayers
when the party's over and everyone is gone
there's a ringing in your ears that lingers on
you feel bamboozled, hoodwinked, fooled, and swindled
you been conned
you been conned
defeated, beated, cheated, you been conned

Bitter Pill New Hampshire
A tight-knit family, (literally father and daughter) who play a dark and anachronistic twist of folk, blues, bluegrass,
country, and rock – mixed with original spoken word as well as reading from classical literature.
A foot stompin’, hand clappin’, spirited, cross-genre rhythm and bluegrass ensemble.
