The government takes what the government needs I've got a hip pocket that's always bleeding I pay for hospitals, roads and sewerage Because of this I'm never gonna be too rich Then there's those that take and take While my back it breaks and breaks Let the system take care of their needs Take the cash, then bite the hand that feeds
Chorus (2x): I've got a hip pocket that's always bleeding I've got mouths that always need feeding No matter how much money I make, It's never enough, it's never enough ...
Then there's those who have got enough cash To avoid their dues and to keep their stash They're laughing all the way to the bank With their friends in power to thank The bank acts like a standover man Taking his cut wherever he can Providing less but taking more Those fucking banks know the score
Chorus (2x)
The government takes what the government needs I've got a hip pocket that's always bleeding I pay for hospitals, roads and sewerage Because of this I'm never gonna be too rich Then there's those that take and take While my back it breaks and breaks Let the system take care of their needs Take the cash, then bite the hand that feeds
