lyrics

And so you cling to the concept of free market labor
Paint yourself as an example of a self-made man
Born into privilege, never missed a meal in your life
But you bought your own car, so you say you identify
It's not a life, it's not a living
When you're free to starve or to take what they're giving
The threat of poverty keeps wages down, workers down
Keeps us down!
You give a sneer and a sigh to the impoverished
Say you don't understand why they don't just get a job
Born into privilege, you never missed a meal in your life
But you had a paper route at twelve, so you say you identify
It's not a life, it's not a living
When you're free to starve or to take what they're giving
The threat of poverty keeps wages down, workers down
Keeps us down!
