So you say you've forgotten again
Just how much you loved your life
You've been working and hurting and toiling again
Just to earn your bed for the night
Pray your dreams will take you away to where your visions aren't a myth
Spend your days stripping years from your life
Working hard all your life to get by
Making other people rich
The leaders and keepers are reaping again
It's just another place and a different time
Their riches are never enough for them
Brother can you spare an honest dime?
Pray for the day their souls be saved
Even if they don't consider it
Spend your days trying to build their pyramids
We strive all our lives to survive
Making other people rich
So you find yourself working towards a cardiac arrest
For the ones who feel their right's divine
Their upward trend is going to keep the world impressed
While you find yourself flattening that line
Pray for the day their souls be saved
Forgiven for their ruthlessness
Spending days stripping years from your life
Working hard all your life to survive
Making other people rich
