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 have to work

Oh, 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
But at least we're not old

When red became blue
Hope denied
Our dreams swept away
With the tide

So get out of the way
People want to work
Not fester in the dirt
We all want to work
