lyrics

You take a piece of the pie.
You take a seat at the throne.
You take all of the pie.
You never throw us a bone.
You want us living in fear.
You never leave us alone.
(You're) spreading all of your lies,
Through amplified microphones.

You think you're so special.
You think you're so tight.
You think all your good fortune
Is some kind of birthright.
You think we're all losers.
You wish we were dead.
You're counting your money,
And going to bed.

CHORUS:
I'm alright - you're gonna see.
I've had tougher people coming after me.
You'd better worry, now, that I know your name.
I'm gonna put an end to your crooked little game.

You knew all the right people.
(You) paid all the right bills.
(You) greased all the right palms up on Capitol Hill.
You got all the right favors,
(Be)cause you had all the right dirt,
And all the right people knew it was them you could hurt.
You didn't have to be subtle.
You didn't have to be kind.
You knew there'd be no rebuttal,
In just a matter of time.
You knew you could waste 'em.
There'd be no reprieve,
And all the problems we're facing are because of what you believe.

CHORUS:
I'm alright - you're gonna see.
I've had tougher people coming after me.
You'd better worry, now, that I know your name.
I'm gonna put an end to your crooked little game.

<INSTRUMENTAL>

CHORUS:
I'm alright - you're gonna see.
I've had tougher people coming after me.
You'd better worry, now, that I know your name.
I'm gonna put an end to your crooked, little game.

You think it's over, now - you think that you've won.
You think you'll never have to pay for all the damage that you've done.
But I'm coming after you, I'm gonna track you down.
(You'd) better keep on running, Mr. Man, I aim to bring you down.

Yeah, we're alright - we know who to trust.
We've got lots of people looking after us.
You'd better worry, now, that we know your names.
We're gonna put an end to all your crooked, little games!
