As Good As It Gets

Be careful in life and you'll see
 The greedy live off you and me
 This is the code, we can break history
 But the greedy still fear you and me
 So get out the way
 People have to work
 Not wallow 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 you're paid, you're not poor
 This is as good as it gets, yes
 We've been bought, we've been sold
 But at least we're not old
 When red became blue, hope denied
 Our dreams swept away with the tide
 So get out the way
 People want to work
 Not fester in the dirt
 We all want to work
 I bet that this is as good as it gets, yes
 How can you ask for more?
 If you're paid, you're not poor
 This is as good as it gets, yes
 We've been bought, we've been sold
 But at least we're not old
 Can your heart take the cold?
