The Patriot

I profiteered throughout the war,
I profiteered for two years more.
And when the people asked me why
I kept my prices up so high,
I told them that I had to make
A profit for my country's sake.

And nowadays when prices fall,
I tell the people one and all
That everyone who buys and buys
Will help the nation stabilize.
Be prices low, be prices high,
None loves his country more than I.

I profiteered throughout the war,
I profiteered for two years more.
And when the people asked me why
I kept my prices up so high,
I told them that I had to make
A profit for my country's sake.

And nowadays when prices fall,
I tell the people one and all
That everyone who buys and buys
Will help the nation stabilize.
Be prices low, be prices high,
None loves his country more than I.
