Be careful in life and you'll see
The greedy live off you and me
This is the code, we can't break history
The greedy still fear you and me
So get out of the way

People have to work
Not wallow in the dirt
People want to work

I bet that
This is as good as it gets, yes
How can you ask for more?
"If you're paid you're not poor"
This is as good as it gets, yes
We've been bought, we've been sold
At least we're not old

When red became blue
Hopes denied
Our dreams sweapt away with the tide
So get out of the way

People want to work
Not fester in the dirt
People have to work

I bet that
This is as good as it gets, yes
How can you ask for more?
"If you're paid you're not poor"
This is as good as it gets, yes
We've been bought, we've been sold
At least we're not old
Can your heart take the cold?
