Lyrics

Mr. Burns:

See here, Smithers, here's my theory,

Of how to cut down what people earn.

Every worker should be nonunion.

That's the genius of Monty Burns.

They've got no health care, they've got no dental.

There's just one bathroom, so they take turns.

And all the money and all the power,

Mr. Burns and backing singers:

Are in the clutches of Monty Burns.

Backing singers:

Hallelujah!

Make us grovel,

For your energy.

Mr. Burns:

Speed up the core, speed up the core, man.

Speed up the core, speed up the core, man.

Backing singers:

Speed up the, speed up the,

Speed up the, speed up,

The core!

Mr. Burns:

Rig detectors and bribe inspectors.

Skip the training 'cause no one learns.

Even people who ain't too clever,

Can work for minimum wage forever.

Broken parts can be glued together.

Mr. Burns and backing singers:

For Monty Burns.

Monty Burns, Monty Burns.

Monty Burns.
