I seen a lot of rip offs in my life   Seen a lot of scams, a lot of crooks   And crooked schemes, crooked sharks   Part one of the story reads   The liquor store thief, the stick-up man   Thrown into the clink, never coming back, yeah!   Until the day he's gray and old   Go!      I've seen a lot of rip offs in my life,   The rip offs of the old and of the young,   The weak, the sick, the never known   Stabbed repeatedly in the back   By the Wall Street suit, the Washington hack   Lining up their pockets with the people's cash   And laughing all the way to the bank      Do you want to live your life a slave?   In chains from the cradle to the grave   The economy is suffering; let it die      Do you want to live your life a slave?   In chains from the cradle to the grave   The economy is suffering; let it die   Yeah!      I've seen a lot of bailouts in my life,   But why is it I never see a bailout   For the homeless and the poor?   And while we're on the subject,   I could use a few bucks   For a guitar amp, a new six string and a tank of gas, yeah!   Everything that I want, that I want!      We're so fucked, and we don't give a fuck, no.   We're so fucked, but no, we just don't care,   'Cause we're so, so fucked, this world is shit outta luck   And we don't give a fuck      Do you want to live your life a slave?   In chains from the cradle to the grave   The economy is suffering; let it die      Do you want to live your life a slave?   In chains from the cradle to the grave   The economy is suffering, suffering; let it die      When the cities burn down, we'll all be warm   When the cities burn down, we'll all keep warm   When the cities burn down, we'll all be warm      When the cities burn down, we'll all be warm   When the cities burn down, we'll all keep warm   When the cities burn down, we'll all be warm      When the cities burn down, we'll all be warm   When the cities burn down, we'll all keep warm   When the cities burn down, we'll all be warm, oh!      We're so fucked. We're so fucked.
