We’re breathin’ hot air Talkin’ ‘bout class warfare But the poor they don’t care 'Cause politics don’t mean nothin’ When you’re needin’ somethin’ To end your despair
They ain’t readin’ Intellectual half-witted bleedin’ Who go home smilin’ It don’t take much thinkin’ For you to be realizin’ The lies ain’t worth chokin’
When you see the same beggin’ On the dyin’ corner You get to wonderin’ Why do they keep pleadin’ If it ain’t good or is it just somethin’ They can’t stop repeatin’?
It’s a thinkin’ man who knows That even with nice clothes You can’t sleep all that well ‘Cause he sees the endin’ Of the ******* dreamin' He’s been trying to sell
What you can say Is you really don’t know why Except maybe you should try Maybe the poor man is better off ‘Cause he ain’t worryin’ ‘bout pride Or recollectin' his last lie
They keep pollutin’ And we keep losin’ No matter how hard your workin’ It’s an insider’s creation And a suckers frustration ‘Cause the chads got no salvation
