Aint got a gift, but you've got something to pay
Well, my grandmother told me to marry one of you but I won't
What is your problem dear?
You look kind of down
The only face your best friend makes is a frown
Well, I'd do the same if I was stuffed up all day in your pocket
Oh, something's gotta give
Cause I've got something to give
But this world is run by the men in the suits
Wiping us clean of our cents til we have no sense left to listen to
So we take our sides and we shun while you take our money and run
But you gotta know what's coming back to you
You gotta know what you are
You are a dime a dozen but worth twice as much
Aint got no love, but you've got something to touch
Well, the rope's getting stronger
Resistance is a bond you can't buy
What's gonna happen when the water gets too high?
You really think plastic will keep you alive?
I'll laugh as you build a boat out of paper and pens
Cause I've got something to give
Oh, but first something's gotta give
But this world is run by the men in the suits
Wiping us clean of our cents til we have no sense left to listen to
So we take our sides and we shun while you take our money and run
But you gotta know what's coming back to you
You gotta know what you are
Your spine is long gone, but you stand tall with the help of your jacket
Near-sighted to the point of blindness,
But you see with your expensive glasses
Your shoulders have grown broad carrying around that head of power
But your high stature can't deceive
It shows you're a coward
But this world is still run by the cowards in the suits
Wiping us clean of our cents til we have no sense left to listen to
So we take our sides and we shun while you take our money and run
But you gotta know what's coming back to you
You gotta know what you are
Invest in much and give a little away Aint got a gift, but you've got something to pay Well, my grandmother told me to marry one of you but I won't What is your problem dear? You look kind of down The only face your best friend makes is a frown Well, I'd do the same if I was stuffed up all day in your pocket Oh, something's gotta give Cause I've got something to give But this world is run by the men in the suits Wiping us clean of our cents til we have no sense left to listen to So we take our sides and we shun while you take our money and run But you gotta know what's coming back to you You gotta know what you are You are a dime a dozen but worth twice as much Aint got no love, but you've got something to touch Well, the rope's getting stronger Resistance is a bond you can't buy What's gonna happen when the water gets too high?
