Invest in much and give a little away
Aint got a gift, but youve got something to pay
Well, my grandmother told me to marry one of you but I wont
What is your problem dear?
You look kind of down
The only face your best friend makes is a frown
Well, Id do the same if I was stuffed up all day in your pocket
Oh, somethings gotta give
Cause Ive 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 whats 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 youve got something to touch
Well, the ropes getting stronger
Resistance is a bond you cant buy
Whats gonna happen when the water gets too high?
You really think plastic will keep you alive?
Ill laugh as you build a boat out of paper and pens
Cause Ive got something to give
Oh, but first somethings 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 whats 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 cant deceive
It shows youre 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 whats coming back to you
You gotta know what you are
