As Good As It Gets

Be careful in life and you'll see

The greedy live off you and me

This is the code, we can break history

But the greedy still fear you and me

So get out the way

People have to work

Not wallow in the dirt

People have to work

I bet that this is as good as it gets, yes

How can you ask for more?

If you're paid, you're not poor

This is as good as it gets, yes

We've been bought, we've been sold

But at least we're not old

When red became blue, hope denied

Our dreams swept away with the tide

So get out the way

People want to work

Not fester in the dirt

We all want to work

I bet that this is as good as it gets, yes

How can you ask for more?

If you're paid, you're not poor

This is as good as it gets, yes

We've been bought, we've been sold

But at least we're not old

Can your heart take the cold?
