Workin’ For Fools Gold Lyrics by Les Blackwell

2024

We're the richest damn country
We hate all our money
Throw it at everything
But feeding the hungry
And people will hate you
For having a damn food stamps card
You can break your back
But you won't make shit
People call you lazy
When you're tired of it
Just eat your pride
But be proud that you live hard
People sound an awful lot
Like the rich men they hate
When you try to knock off
What's on another mans plate
I think y'all all bought
That same old line
Fight amongst yourselves
Kick each other when you're down
Don't ever look up
See who's got the crown
Think you're fighting a war?
Just making fool's gold
Well I know what it's like
To work hard for your rent
But I know what it's like
Living out of a tent
There's a world of difference
But the cards still stacked
The same way
If y'all could just understand
We shouldn't divide
Gotta take a stand
To make sure we survive
Between wage gaps and workers
Someone's gotta pay
Raking in record profits
In a tragedy
Bailing out big businesses
From bankruptcy
And the local PD
Just got themselves some new toys
Well busting down unions
Breaking paychecks down
Don't you fight for your rights
Don't you make a sound
For making too much noise
'Cause we'll throw you in jail
For making too much noise
Well we're the richest damn country
But we hate all our money
We'll spend it on anything
But feeding the hungry
And people will hate you
For having a damn food stamps card
I don't know about you
But I got the blues
People are so damn confused about
What the hell to do
