For a wage of copper they'll make you rich in gold
And thats what you got if you got control
But if you got nothin' you ain't got no hope
'Cause everybody knows where the money goes

A mans gotta work if he wants to live
But is a life of labor for the highest bid
A life worth livin' oh tell me if it is
Cause I wanna know when to cash in

They don't know your fury, can't hear you shout
No matter how loud you holler, they'll drown you out
No fist of ours has any clout
If a fist of theirs can knock you out
