they ve got everything

Malvina Reynolds

Well isn t it sad, and hopeless, too,
There isn t much that we can do.
The ones up there, they got it all
By the tail on a down hill haul.

Chorus:
They got the power, they ve got the press,
They ve got the banks, the stocks and all the rest,
They ve got everything,
They ve got everything,
But you and me.

They ve got the rats, they ve got the finks,
A little cash, a couple drinks,
They ve got the world, it s theirs for free,
They ve got everything but you and me.

(Chorus)

Well, all they ve got is mighty fine,
It all is theirs and none of mine,
But there s one lot they cannot buy,
And without that they kick and cry.

(Chorus)

They need us all to wear their brand,
But then a few get out of hand,
And more and more move out of line--
That IBM goes out of its mind.

(Chorus)

That superjob don t work so good
If we don t act the way we should,
They need us all right in our place,
But we keep moving our own ways.

(Chorus)
