Debut single!
A friendly reminder that your hard work keeps their yachts floating and their pockets fat. So keep breaking your back for their mansions, private jets, and private island get-a-ways. The more you give, the more they take—so smile, clock in, play your part...and if something feels off, Blame The Poor!
You had a house, you had a dream
Now get back to work, don’t make a scene
We cut your wage, take your land
Now don’t complain just meet demand
Work hard, work fast, give us more
Make it twice (twice) what you made before
We’ll take it all, we’ll drain you dry
Then sell you debt then make you buy
You need to work, so we can take
The more you earn, the more we make
We bleed you dry, we raise the stakes
Then blame the poor for your mistakes
You need to work (work) so we can take
You need to earn (earn) the more we make
We bleed you dry (dry) we raise the stakes
We blame the poor for your mistakes
we sell you debt, we sell you war
we sell you dreams you can’t afford
we fake the fight, to keep you blind
we're cashing in on the class divide
Work more, work late, don’t complain
We need your blood to fuel the game
We own the banks, we own the laws
We own your life, so play along
You need to work, so we can take
The more you earn, the more we make
We bleed you dry, we raise the stakes
Then blame the poor for your mistakes
You need to work (work) so we can take
You need to earn (earn) the more we make
We bleed you dry (dry) we raise the stakes
We blame the poor for your mistakes
