So the average working man

Makes a living wage of nearly thirty grand

But the value that this work does bring

Is much closer ninety

So that means sixty off the top

Goes Directly to boss man’s hand

That’s how they keep those mansions up

And that’s just the average

Now of that thirty grand

That you bring to the kids

Another third comes right off the top

Directly to Uncle Sam

But you see that plain as day

As it flies from of your hand

So you feel that loss But your boss is getting six times much more than them

But everything’s good

I know you probably take it as a point of pride

You’re gonna «stand up to the man»

But the faces that are put out front of you

Are only just a sales force

The simple truth is everywhere

And everything demands

That we keep this beastie fat and fed

For this we’ve agreed all hands

So you use these bootstraps

To Turn the clock back

An all agree that

We want to relax

We got the weekend

We got vacation

We got freedom of choice — approximation

And You can buy what you wanted to buy

So Everything’s fine

But you see that plain as day

Money flies from your hand

And you feel that cost but the boss is getting six times much more than Sam

But everything’s fine

Everything’s good

Everything’s cool

How bout you

So now

Do we have a picture how this little scheme goes down

Every one a willing

Victim of a system

Feudalism is still around

So line up

And get yours

I got mine

And in time

They’ll have yours

They’ll have mine

It’s a simple two dimensional line

Two thirds from of the top

Another third for roads and cops

Don’t kid yourself that it’s ever gonna stop

Just keep your head down

And blame it all on most have not

And hold them off with a million shots

And tell yourself you enjoy your job

To keep it together

This is living in the USA

Money flies from the hand

You can feel that loss and the boss’s been getting six times six times six times

But everything’s cool yeah

Everything’s good
