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
