lyrics

01. hard working people

in the land of the free, home of the slave
we all end up in the same size grave
it's money for nothing, the rich go free
but that one percent ain't you, it ain't me

it's us hard working people
us hard working people
hard working people, keeping this place alive

doctors & nurses are what it's about
the girls at the checkout, checking you out
the cooks & the farmers, keeping us fed
til the taxman comes to take away your bread
ch

they give money to wall street
bail out the banks
close down the schools
and build some more tanks
give to the rich
steal from the poor
they don't about your health
cause they got a new war

back in the day, we were on the same side
blue & red, black & white
your vote really counted, if you wanted to use it
and once upon a time, we got paid to play music
ch
