Why ain't it okay to be normal
To work an ordinary job
And come home to normal houses
With a family and a dog?
Maybe take a nice vacation
Like they did back in the day
Long before a bunch of bankers
Came and took it all away
Oh my God you know times are getting rough
When eighty ****ing hours on the line still ain’t enough
How d’ya keep on doing what you’re told?
When the owner gets a spaceship
And the workers can’t afford a home
If you're driving truck for Amazon
Or on a factory floor
And you can’t afford a decent life
What good is working for?
If you're stacking shelves for Walmart
I say you deserve your share
But your ordinary dream got stolen
By a billionaire
Oh my God you know times are getting rough
When eighty ****ing hours on the line still ain’t enough
How d’ya keep on doing what you’re told?
When the owner gets a spaceship
And the workers can’t afford a home
How much is too much for one man to own?
We got to rise up, we can’t do it alone
Way back in the great depression
We made them give us a new deal
But they’re right on track to take it back
We gotta stop the steal
Oh my God you know times are getting rough
When eighty ****ing hours on the line still ain’t enough
How d’ya keep on doing what you’re told?
When the owner gets a spaceship and the workers got no home
Said the owner gets a spaceship
And the workers can’t afford a home
