Your workin for the man, who don't even know your name!
That's the way that it goes when you're down here
with the rest of us!

You might lose now, your beautiful children
Your happy home yea, and your beautiful wife!

You'll suffer hard now as you bury your loved ones
You'll suffer hard now, when you lose your best friend!
That's the way that it goes when you're down here
with the rest of us
That's the way that it goes and I know how you feel

No one's immune now, to a world of problems
No one's exempt now, from worlds of pain!

I try hard now, to do the right thing
Yet I wonder, why I still do what's wrong
