Oh, there's hell to pay

and no money now

They say what gold's

supposed to come around

Now where's it gone,

when's it coming back

I took a one -way trip down

a one -way track

Now I'm ninety -five, won't get it done

With your pension drain

and a water pump

They got your nose to the stone

and your back to the wall

You're a little bit less than nothing at all

Robbin' slaves

Diddy diddy wop wop wop da diddy

Diddy diddy wop wop

Now the wolf is grinning

at the henhouse door

There's a hand in your pocket

and you know what for

Do -do -do -do -wop -wop

Scrappin' and savin' won't do no good

Do -do -do -do -wop -wop -wop -do -do

He got a Walmart check in the Gucci hood

Do -do -do -do -wop -wop

And now a workin' man

won't understand

Do -do -do -do -wop -wop

How a company man became a hired hand

Do -do -do -do -wop -wop -do -do
