Cash Cow

Put your trust aside
You're on the corporate ride
There's always someone there to watch you fall
I got your bottom line
It happens all the time
And when it's time to cash you in
They're gonna take it all

I'm as cold as the dead of winter
Black as darkest night
When I see the honest public die
Slippery slugs with greedy fingers
Around me all the time
Try to block it out but I can't get it off my mind

'Cause the air
It chokes me
Breathing in the filth of modern man
No way
To deny it
Honesty just leaves you in despair

When the chips are down
And you're losing ground
The system milks you like a cash cow

Well I woke up fast when I saw the cast
Of liars, thieves & snakes
Another two faced rat
With a homemade tattoo is
All that I can take
It's like a daily trial or test of faith
To see how long you'll last
When it's dog eat dog
The heroes fly & losers die fast

Look closely
Wheels of change are spinning all the time
Trying to conform me
Into another station of your production line

When the chips are down
And you're losing ground
The system milks you like a cash cow
Don't make no mistake
It's all give & take
They're gonna bleed you 'til you're dry
Bleed

When the chips are down
And you're losing ground
The system milks you like a cash cow
Don't make no mistake
It's all give & take
They're gonna bleed you 'til you're dry

When your chips are down
And you're losing ground
This government's gonna milk you like a cow
