Behind the Number One

Behind the #1
 there's a land o' milk and honey
 full o' lawsuits left and right
 keeps me jumpin' in the water
 drownin' demons in the night
 (we cant kill ev'rybody)
 we cant bribe ev'rybody
 (who disagrees with freedom)
 with the bloody hands of freedom
 fillin' up a dirty ocean
 with a mighty hole a bleedin'.
 this mighty hole o' luxury
 keeps burnin' like before
 no matter what i say and do
 i (still) work for more and more
 hist'ry makes a mark o' time
 spinnin' wheels pass the buck
 behind the number one(selfish one)
 thinkin' how to turn a dime
 and turn my luck around
 buyin' time to feel the breeze
 o' livin' up and down
 chours
 i blame the man who's got the most
 and curse the weak and dumb
 i turn the tv on and off
 and watch me scream and run
