Regular people, just plain working folks
Always stood out in my eyes.
I scorn all those people who drink wine instead
Of eating Frito pies.

Regular people, just plain working folks
Always stood out in my eyes.
I scorn all those people who drink wine instead
Of eating Frito pies.

Prince Bandar bin Sultan’s a regular Joe–
Bandar eats grits and he hunts.
Ol’ Bandar digs NASCAR and country and snuff,
And that’s why I do what he wants.

Bridge (sung with gusto):
That Kenny Boy Lay was the salt of the earth.
Too bad he took the fall.
I like CEOs, they’re all common as dirt.
I liked Kenny Boy best of all.

It’s plain folks with money this country’s about.
Not Hollywood, not all that smut.
To people in bluejeans with millions I pledge
Your taxes will be cut.

Your support makes stories like this possible

From Minneapolis to Venezuela, from Gaza to Washington, DC, this is a time of staggering chaos, cruelty, and violence. 

Unlike other publications that parrot the views of authoritarians, billionaires, and corporations, The Nation publishes stories that hold the powerful to account and center the communities too often denied a voice in the national media—stories like the one you’ve just read.

Each day, our journalism cuts through lies and distortions, contextualizes the developments reshaping politics around the globe, and advances progressive ideas that oxygenate our movements and instigate change in the halls of power. 

This independent journalism is only possible with the support of our readers. If you want to see more urgent coverage like this, please donate to The Nation today.
