Another day, another dollar Or so the saying goes You work so hard just to be hollered At for bringing to work with you, your woes You aren't a person once you've clocked in You're not supposed to care About the goings on in your own world So **** it up, 'cause life's not fair Always put your best foot forward Nothing less than your best will suffice Don't you think that a golden watch On your superiors' wrist would look nice? You're working for "the big man" now Don't you understand? Everything you do from here on out Will add more cards to his hand Try to come in when you're sick Don't call off too much How else will the higher ups Pay for their daily corporate lunch? Be happy with your current wage You make enough to get by If you ask for more, you could be fired Without being given reason why One day once you've given your all You may be able to retire They'll give you half of your former pay As by law they are required Month by month you'll receive your checks Though they might not be enough to live Your whole life they get to take take take While you'll only ever give At least now you can relax a bit Maybe you can finally see The whole world on a map before you What it means to be broke, but "free"

Working for the Bigwigs
The profit of greed Is the only thing they need. Man want more, For the seeds they sow. I profit more, Till I start to pour. I take others lives, To feed my fearful lies. I take what’s free, To monopolize and fee. Oh, you think you’re free? I lock, no key. What further more, Shall suffer need. I take before, Your life, I feed. They do this more, The plagues saturate the poor. All I need is myself alone, To finally destroy humanities stone.
