‘Don’t Want to Be in The Spotlight’

‘Don’t Let Them Take It Away’

I’ve⁣ been sellin’ my soul, ⁤workin’ all day
Overtime hours​ for [expletive] pay
So I can sit out here and waste my life away
Drive back home and drown my troubles away
It’s a damn shame what the world’s gotten to
For people like me and⁤ people like you
Wish I could just wake up and‌ it not be true
But it is, oh, it is
Livin’ in the new world
With an old soul
These rich men north of Richmond
Lord knows they all just wanna have total control
Wanna know ⁢what you think, wanna know what you do
And they don’t think you know, but I know that ⁣you do
‘Cause ​your dollar ain’t [expletive] and ‌it’s taxed to no end
‘Cause of rich men north of Richmond
I wish politicians would look out for miners
And not just minors on⁢ an island somewhere
Lord, we got folks ⁣in the street, ain’t got nothin’ to eat
And the obese milkin’ welfare
Well, God, if you’re ​5-foot-3 and you’re‌ 300 pounds
Taxes ought not to pay for your bags of fudge rounds
Young men are puttin’ themselves six feet in the ground
‘Cause all ‌this damn country does ⁤is keep on kickin’ them down
Lord, it’s a damn shame what the world’s gotten to
For people like me and people like you
Wish I could just wake up⁣ and it not be true
But it is, oh, it ⁢is
Livin’ in the new world
With an old soul
These rich​ men ⁣north of​ Richmond
Lord knows they all just wanna‌ have total control
Wanna know what you think, wanna know what you do
And they​ don’t ‌think you know, but I know that you do
‘Cause your dollar ain’t [expletive] and it’s taxed ​to no end
‘Cause​ of‍ rich men north of Richmond
I’ve ‍been sellin’ my soul, workin’ all day
Overtime hours for [expletive] ‌pay
