Gorillion
Die for a dollar
As the ceiling's growing taller
Everybody's getting richer
But their waists are staying thinner
Just play to be the winner
They say and wave a finger
But the chips are all down
Not enough to go around
Just work harder
Maybe throw a little farther
Break your back a little lower
You're not allowed to take it slower
And when you're getting old
And your time is all sold
You cannot die in peace
Everybody wants a piece
You just want to go to sleep
But the price is too steep
What would you do with all the riches in the world?
Money comes and it goes, who takes it all home?
Pocket all our earnings
And then we foot the bill
The people we looked up to
Sitting idly on their hill
Dust floats in our lungs
Our health is in a pill
Not worth any service
Until conscripted to a kill
Human flesh is expendable
Capital dependable
The old elite
Keeps the power in its seat
If we make any noise
We risk losing our voice
Remain in servitude
Is all we're left to do
We do not have the means
To secure our destinies
How many times over could we erase all our debts?
If we had all the wealth in the world to spend?
Jump the hoop, loop the loop
Shake your ass for a man in a suit
Day by day, week by week
Every night you sacrifice some sleep
Bide your time, wait til light
Hope that you survive the night
Serve your time, don't do what's right
Serve your time, don't put up a fight
Serve your time, get your ass back in line
Serve your time, you're set for life
How many times over could we erase all our debts?
If we had all the wealth in the world to spend?
As the ceiling's growing taller
Everybody's getting richer
But their waists are staying thinner
Just play to be the winner
They say and wave a finger
But the chips are all down
Not enough to go around
Just work harder
Maybe throw a little farther
Break your back a little lower
You're not allowed to take it slower
And when you're getting old
And your time is all sold
You cannot die in peace
Everybody wants a piece
You just want to go to sleep
But the price is too steep
What would you do with all the riches in the world?
Money comes and it goes, who takes it all home?
Pocket all our earnings
And then we foot the bill
The people we looked up to
Sitting idly on their hill
Dust floats in our lungs
Our health is in a pill
Not worth any service
Until conscripted to a kill
Human flesh is expendable
Capital dependable
The old elite
Keeps the power in its seat
If we make any noise
We risk losing our voice
Remain in servitude
Is all we're left to do
We do not have the means
To secure our destinies
How many times over could we erase all our debts?
If we had all the wealth in the world to spend?
Jump the hoop, loop the loop
Shake your ass for a man in a suit
Day by day, week by week
Every night you sacrifice some sleep
Bide your time, wait til light
Hope that you survive the night
Serve your time, don't do what's right
Serve your time, don't put up a fight
Serve your time, get your ass back in line
Serve your time, you're set for life
How many times over could we erase all our debts?
If we had all the wealth in the world to spend?
