Call me what you want
But the rich make me jealous
Money ain't the game
If it was they wouldn't tell us
'cause the winners don't
Reveal their secrets
'til they're last man standing
Call me what you want
But the poor make me sick
They're lying in the street
You know their sleeves are full of tricks
And you're much better than they are
'cause you've got four walls
And a pile of debt
Tell me have you worked
Can you retire yet?
Oh it's a shame
That you believed it
But they're selling dreams on the corner
And they'll give you a drink
And they'll arrest you for drinking
Tell you to be you
And then arrest you for thinking
Captain oh captain
Our ship it is sinking
Call it what you want
You're a slave to a pig
The man you trade your life to
For a grave to dig
And the ferry has a price
The same for every man
A penny for your soul
Or eternity damned
Well call it what you want
I'm afraid of the facts
We're too far gone
To bring humanity back
'cause we rely on the people
Who see us as a number
And split us apart limb by limb
Hold you under water
While they tell you to swim
Oh it's a shame
That you believed it
But they're selling dreams on the corner
And they'll give you a drink
And they'll arrest you for drinking
Tell you to be you
And then arrest you for thinking
Captain oh captain
Our ship it is sinking
And I can't say
It's getting any better
The war and the dying
And the changing in the weather
And the women of the world
You took their voice away
And blame them and blame them
For a man's mistake
Well I can't breath
Thinking 'bout the people
Sat inside the strip and tryna run
From all the evil
To be greeted at our door
And turned away
They blame the money problems
On the poor again
'cause they went and spent
All our taxes on funding their mates
Oh it's a shame
That you believed it
But they're selling dreams on the corner
And they'll give you a drink
And they'll arrest you for drinking
Tell you to be you
And then arrest you for thinking
Captain oh captain
Our ship it is sinking
