Gene - As Good As It Gets

Be careful in life and youll see
The greedy live off you and me
This is the code, we cant break history
The greedy still fear you and me
So get out of the way
People have to work
Not wallow in the dirt
People want to work
I bet that
This is as good as it gets, yes
How can you ask for more?
"If youre paid youre not poor"
This is as good as it gets, yes
Weve been bought, weve been sold
At least were not old
When red became blue
Hopes denied
Our dreams sweapt away with the tide
So get out of the way
People want to work
Not fester in the dirt
People have to work
I bet that
This is as good as it gets, yes
How can you ask for more?
"If youre paid youre not poor"
This is as good as it gets, yes
Weve been bought, weve been sold
At least were not old
Can your heart take the cold?
