You might be a financial wizard
With a sack of loot
All I see is a slimy lizard
With an expensive suit
Go on and run your corporation
Go and kiss some ass
You might buy half of the nation
But you can't buy class
You bastards think it's funny
Lyin' and thieving all your life
Think all there is is money
Got your future strapped up tight
Just 'cause you got the power
That don't mean you got the right
You can take my fingers babe
You can take my eyes
You can take my past and future
It won't make you wise
You can have me thrown in jail
You can steal my booze
You can even read my mail
Step on my blue suede shoes
You bastards must be clever
Got it mapped out in black and white
But don't forget you'll never
Get a dog to walk upright
Just 'cause you got the power
That don't mean you got the right
Go on out, make another deal
Feed your big fat face
Go on out and cop a feel
Get on somebody's case
You surely would be satisfied
If you could have it all
But time ain't on your side
You're going to the wall
You think that life's all dollars
Greed and lust and spite
But I wasn't born to follow
Like to get my sleep at night
Just 'cause you got the power
That don't mean you got the right
