lyrics

Capitalize on the working masses. We’re a million to one, yet the one’s still laughing. They’ve got their hands in your wallets, fingers in your purses. Hoard your nickels because you’ve worked it, you’ve earned it.

Take and take, slim down my bottom line. I’ve been taxed to death, start working overtime. The tax man’s fist is coming down on my door. He’s going to broaden the gap between the rich and the poor.

Don’t want to give my dreams to feed the money machine.
Don’t want to break my back then come apart at the seams.

Tossed aside, thrown face down into the dirt, as they stomp your back further into the earth. No lending hand to help you back to your feet. Still they take you for all you’re fucking worth.

Don’t want to give my dreams to feed the money machine.
Don’t want to break my back then come apart at the seams.

Minutes turn to hours, hours turn to days, and at the end of the month, you feed the money machine. Pennies turn to dollars, and dollars turn to debt, because you’ve lost it all to feed the money machine.

Don’t want to give my dreams to feed the money machine.
Don’t want to break my back then come apart at the seams.
