They've been hurtin my soul, workin' all day
Overtime hours for bullshit pay
So I can sit out here and waste my life away
Drag back home and smoke my troubles away

It's a real shame what the world's gotten to
For people like me and people like you
Wish I could just wake up and it not be true
But it is, oh, it is

Livin' in a fake world
Without a soul
These rich men north of Jersey
Lord knows they all just wanna have total control
Wanna know what you buy, wanna know where you go
And they don't care at all, and they don't think like you
'Cause your health care ain't shit and you're gouged to no end
'Cause of rich men north of Jersey

I wish businessmen would look out for workers
And not just interns in an office somewhere
Lord, we got folks in the street, ain't got nothin' to eat
And all the corporate welfare

Well, God, if you've got a billion and a giant yacht
Taxes ought to be paid from the wealth you just got
Young men are puttin' themselves six feet in the ground
'Cause all these damn corporations keep on kickin' them down

Lord, it's a damn shame what the world's gotten to
For people like me and people like you
Wish I could just wake up and it not be true
But it is, oh, it is

Livin' in a fake world
Without a soul
These rich men north of Jersey
Lord knows they all just wanna have total control
Wanna know what you buy, wanna know where you go
And they don't care at all, and they don't think like you
'Cause your health care ain't shit and you're gouged to no end
'Cause of rich men north of Jersey

They've been hurtin' my soul, workin' all day
Overtime hours for bullshit pay
