Lyrics

All the people I know wanna be left alone
Some people!
I don’t know?
They won’t to leave you alone
I guess you gotta be just – be just like them

Now the biggest gang I know they call the government
And a gang is a weapon
That you trade your mind for
You gotta be just – be just like them

Ya know the gang
And the government
No different
The gang
And the government
No different
The gang
And the government
No different
It makes me
1%
It makes me
1%
Oh god!

Trouble comes down
Like a foot stepping heavy
Shake your fist
At the bitch
Or wave your money
You gotta be right
You gotta be right
Don’t be no
Supper for a big fish
With the big lip
And the over – bite…
Bite…
You gotta bite

All the people I know wanna be left alone
Some people!
I don’t know?
They want to leave you alone!
I guess you gotta be just – be just like them

The gang
And the government
Are no different
The gang
And the government
No different
The gang
And the government
No different
That makes me
1%
It makes me
1%
It makes me
Only 1%
That makes me
1%
