Suffer For The Trust

They don't pay us enough
 to suffer for the trust
 I'm gonna take what's mine
 before the cause gets just
 take what's mine before I run out of time
 before the face on the monument
 pays me a compliment
 Every now and then I think of how I could've been
 if the candidate I backed had been a good time
 drinks for my enemies, sunny days in front of me
 I used to want love, but now I want money
 East coast, west coast, I think I'll lighten my load
 and dump my luggage, and fall in line
 stuck in the middle with no voice, no coach
 nuthin but a river and a shoreline
 They don't pay us enough
 to suffer for the trust
 I'm gonna take what's mine
 before the cause gets just
 take what's mine before I run out of time
 before the face on the monument
 pays me a compliment
 I'd like to thank the academy, once again for lettin' me
 stand up here to tell you how I feel
 and when I win again I think I'll bring my girlfriend
 and leave my mama back in East Moline
 yeah when I win again I think I'll thank the service men
 and the government cuz now I got money, they're my friends
 the teachers and the realtors, the rotary and police
 the posse with the philosophy of what it is to be free
 to be free
 to be free
 to be free...
 They don't pay us enough
 to suffer for the trust
 I'm gonna take what's mine
 before the cause gets just
 take what's mine before I run out of time
 before the face on the monument
 before the face on the monument
 before the face on the monument
 pays me a compliment
