I make my money, you take my money
I think it's wrong, I do
Now I'm feeling weighted down and graduated
Seems like I've been set up to lose
I don't understand how I'm working for you, man
I guess I can see why you would need a little help from me
Ain't kept up with international trade since before 1913
Tariffs ain't been enough since 'bout 1861
A war came calling for more so in '62 you started having fun
Now when it came to end the expiry called for revolution
Left industry in the Northeast Bay and amend the Constitution
The turn of the century saw the cost of living rise
Told them past the 60 to increase the governmental size
I make my money, you take my money
I think it's wrong, I do
Now I'm feeling weighted down and graduated
Seems like I've been set up to lose
I make my money, you take my money
I think it's wrong, I do
Now I'm feeling weighted down and graduated
Seems like I've been set up to lose
I don't understand how I'm working for you, man
Now I'm all for paying for roads
But I'm watching the money go against my vote
And the people I see who're drowning in debt
Could use a little more to go
Put this little effort into earning equality
Ain't no sense in paying tax while you're living in poverty
Now come on, now
Let's have a little sense
Put the money where we need it
Into the schools, into the people, into the knowledge
I make my money, you take my money
I think it's wrong, I do
Now I'm feeling weighted down and graduated
Seems like I've been set up to lose
Uncle Sam, God damn
How could you take me for such a fool?
