Be careful in life and you'll see   The greedy live off you and me   This is the code, we can break history   But the greedy still fear you and me   So get out the way   People have to work   Not wallow 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   But at least we're not old   When red became blue, hope denied   Our dreams swept away with the tide   So get out the way   People want to work   Not fester in the dirt   We all 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   But at least we're not old   Can your heart take the cold?
