 When a man is running from his boss who holds a gun that fires "cost"

And people die from being old or left alone because they're cold

And bombs are dropped on fighting

cats and children's dreams are run with rats

And you get beaten up by blacks who though they work still got the sack

And when a man is trying to change it only causes further pain
