There's a hungry little mother that lives in a shack
Spitting distance from the capitol
Down by the tracks
The limos drive five blocks out of their way
Because seeing that stuff just spoils their day
Crank up the noise
Rock with the boys
Come on, jam with the band
Blow the horn o plenty
You know the doctors and the rockers and the heads of state
Are all feeding their egos at a million a plate
Another worthy cause, we stoop so low
While the grain sits rotting in the big silo
CHORUS
Well I went to bed drunk and I woke up married
I slept through church and I woke up buried
Stay on your guard, don't even blink
They'll rob you blind in the quick of a wink
Wink wink wink
Now if I become a rich man, how much will I give
How much will I keep, be like the other half lives
We could fill the Grand Canyon with good intentions we got
But the gap's that wide between the haves and have-nots
Spitting distance from the capitol
Down by the tracks
The limos drive five blocks out of their way
Because seeing that stuff just spoils their day
Crank up the noise
Rock with the boys
Come on, jam with the band
Blow the horn o plenty
You know the doctors and the rockers and the heads of state
Are all feeding their egos at a million a plate
Another worthy cause, we stoop so low
While the grain sits rotting in the big silo
CHORUS
Well I went to bed drunk and I woke up married
I slept through church and I woke up buried
Stay on your guard, don't even blink
They'll rob you blind in the quick of a wink
Wink wink wink
Now if I become a rich man, how much will I give
How much will I keep, be like the other half lives
We could fill the Grand Canyon with good intentions we got
But the gap's that wide between the haves and have-nots
