Lyrics Randy Newman

Randy Newman

A Piece of the Pie

Like us all you want, the very best advice

A car, a house a neighborhood, that's nice

Flowers and trees and lots of little kids around

Where public schools are breeding grounds for vice.

You say you're working harder than you ever have

You say you've got two jobs and so?s your wife

Living in the richest country in the world

Wouldn't you think you?d have a better life?

If you lived in Norway you'd be fine right now

Get sick there, you make the doctor wait

If you lived in Belgium you could mediate

[German screaming]

Hey, knock it off!

And the French fries are great

Jesus Christ it stinks here high and low

The rich are getting richer, I should know

While we're going up you're going down

No one gives a shit but Jackson Browne

Jackson Browne

Jackson

There's a famous saying someone famous said

As General Motors goes, so go we all

Johnny Couger's singing it's their country man

He'll be singing for Toyota by the fall

(That's not true. John's a patriot. He's not like you. He's a...)

Jesus Christ, it stinks here low and high

Some get rich and others just get by

Bono's off in Africa, he's never around

Country turns its lonely him, Jackson Browne

Jackson Browne

Jackson Browne

A piece of the pie

It's all we're asking for

A piece of the pie

A piece of the pie

It's all we're asking for

A piece of the pie
