Might as well forget about it
Might as well forget about it
Might as well forget about it
Might as well forget about it

[Verse 1]
Thought you had a good thing cookin'
The future was looking good
But the rules were meant to be broken so you
Might as well forget about it
Might as well forget about it
Might make out pretty good on this one
And you sure could use a win
But it's over before it begins and you know it is

[Pre-Chorus]
You can save all your coupons and it still won't do no good
'Cause the top's got the bottom exactly where they want 'em yeah

[Chorus 1]
Might as well forget about it
Might as wеll forget about it
Yeah you might as well forgеt about it
Might as well forget about it

[Verse 2]
Said you want to go into teaching
And try to school the youth on the truth
But you can't find the money for the books so you
Might as well forget about it
Might as well forget about it
The cold truth is that it's all by design
The rich get richer and the rest just get by
Grovel at the bottom got us workin' ourselves to the bone

[Pre-Chorus]
You can save all your coupons and it still won't do no good
'Cause the top's got the bottom exactly where they want 'em

[Chorus 2]
Might as well forget about it
'Cause there ain't much we can do about it
Might as well forget about it
Might as well ho ho
[Outro]
Put your mind somewhere else
Oh!
Your people, your health
People!
Just live your life
Live your life!
And try to live it true
Try to live it true, hey yeah
Put your mind somewhere else
Somewhere!
Your people, your health
Your people!
Just live your life
Live your life!
And try to live it true
Try to live it true, oh!
Put your mind somewhere else
Put it somewhere else!
Your people, your health
Just live your life and try to live it true
Try to live a, try to live a good life for your people and yourself!
Put your mind somewhere else
Help one another!
Your people, your health
Be good to one another!
Just live your life and try to live it true
And try to live it true! Hey!
