Ah, it's open season here my friend
 It always is; it always has been
 [bad word]  [bad word] to the U.S.A.
 We're partying fools in the autumn of our heyday
 And though [bad word] out of everything
 We can't afford to quit
 Before this binge is over
 We've got to squeeze off one more hit
 We're workin' it
 Workin' it

 Soon you will be dancing face-to-face
 With the limits of ambition and the scars of the marketplace
 [bad word] to the land of flame and fizz
 Where you will learn that packaging is all that heaven is

 We got the little black car, the little black dress
 Got the [bad word]  the trainer, the full court press
 We got the software, hard drive, CD-ROM
 We got the [bad word]  We got the pager, cell phone, bootleg methaqualone
 The media, the message: you are what you own
 We got the agent, lawyer, lapdog, voyeur
 Talk show, book deal, round mouth, square meal

 We're so busy covering our asses, we just [bad word]  "Oh, back off, don't bother me, baby
 Can't you see I'm workin' it"
 Workin' it

 It's plain to see Miss Liberty has not [bad word] of age
 But, she loves to feed the animals as long as they're locked up in the cage
 And everybody knows the girl's got balls of brass
 Aw, kiss my [bad word] 
[Solo]

 We've got a whole new class of opiates
 To blunt the stench of discontent
 In these corporation nation-states
 Where the loudest live to trample on the least
 They say it's just the predatory nature of the beast

 But, the barons in the balcony are laughing
 And pointing to the pit
 They say, "Aw look, they've grown accustomed to the smell
 Now, people love that [bad word]  And we're workin' it."
 Workin' it

 We got the short-term gain, the long-term mess
 We got the suffocating, quarterly consciousness
 Yes [bad word] like a thief

 New York to Hollywood, hype and glory
 Special effects, no story
 Yes [bad word] like a thief

 Workin' it
 Workin' it

 Well, you don't know who the enemy is
 You don't know
 You don't know who the enemy is
 [bad word] man
 "Eight for me, one for you"
 (Workin' it)
 "Very fair"
 Business as usual, business as usual
