Tell the governor that I need some bread Just trying to keep my family fed Working two jobs, seven days of the week Can't get ahead and I'm losing sleep 'Cause it's a game And I'm here to tell you, right here to tell you it's a shame The way they keep us down, don't you know it's a game? Send a letter to the Capitol Hill Tell them a working man can't pay his bills While they're out there getting their shoes shined I got holes in the soles of mine It's a game And I'm here to tell you, right here to tell you it's a damn shame The way they keep us down, don't you know it's a game? 'Cause it's a game And I'm here to tell you, right here to tell you it's a shame The way they keep us down, don't you know it's a game? And I'm here to tell you, right here to tell you it's a shame The way they keep us down, don't you know it's a game? It's a game
