I′ve been selling my soul working all day

Overtime hours for bullshit pay

So I can sit out here and waste my life awayDrag back home and drown my troubles away

It's a damn shame what the world′s gotten to

For people like me, people like you

Wish I could just wake up and it not be true

But it is oh, it is

Livin' in the new world with an old soul

These rich men north of Richmond

Lord, knows they all just wanna have total control

Wanna know what you think, wanna know what you do

And they don't think you know but I know that you do

′Cause your dollar ain′t shit and it's taxed to no end

′Cause of rich men north of Richmond

I wish politicians would look out for minors

And not just minors on an island somewhere

Lord, we got folks in the street ain't got nothin′ to eat

And the obese milkin' welfare

But God, if you′re five foot three and you're three hundred pounds

Taxes ought not to pay for your bags of fudge rounds

Young men are putting themselves six feet in the ground

'Cause all this damn country does is keep on kicking them down

Lord, it′s a damn shame what the world′s gotten to

For people like me, people like you

Wish I could just wake up and it not be true

But it is oh, it is

Livin' in the new world with an old soul

These rich men north of Richmond

Lord, knows they all just wanna have total control

Wanna know what you think, wanna know what you do

And they don′t think you know but I know that you do

'Cause your dollar ain′t shit and it's taxed to no end

′Cause of rich men north of Richmond

I've been selling my soul working all day

Overtime hours for bullshit pay
