Now everyone??s walking like they??re rolling in dough.

Throwing all their money around just for show.

Am B E Am
I??m the well-paid slave and the roads that I paved took my career, that??s just what I gave.
Dm Am B E
Five years later they were rolling in clover but nothing for me, my career was over.

If I??d been born just a generation later I could have settled up with an arbitrator.

E Am
Yeah, You call that gratitude
