Corruption

The beat is irresistible. The corruption is outrageous. “CORRUPTION” is a dark, Pet Shop Boys–inspired synth-pop protest song that transforms more than 40 years of Republican politics into an infectious, dystopian dance-floor satire. From GOP tax breaks for the wealthy and the influence of billionaire donors to Donald Trump’s cryptocurrency ventures, controversial pardons, and broken promises to “drain the swamp,” this original political satire takes aim at a system critics say rewards the powerful while ordinary Americans pay the price. With icy synthesizers, hypnotic rhythms, biting humor, and a deceptively cheerful chorus, “CORRUPTION” exposes the contradictions between Republican promises of public service and the influence of money in Washington. It’s 1980s British synth-pop with a distinctly American political problem—and one devastating punchline: “They get rich. We get the bill.” The lyrics to all songs on the channel can be found in the closed captions.
