Thanks to the hand that feed you
Give the dog a bone
Thanks to the man that gives you
Haven't got your own

That's the way the world is
Get just what you can
Wake up again tomorrow
A little less a man, yeah, yeah, yeah
Oh, yeah
Yes to the man above you
Hope you pass the test
No to the man below you
Leave him with the rest

That's the way the world is
Get just what you can
Wake up again tomorrow
A little less a man, yeah, oh, yeah

Everybody knows, everybody goes
To make a buck today
But that ain't the way it should be
It's changin' every way, yeah

Thanks to them that feed you
Give the dog a bone
Thanks to them that give you
You haven't got your own
That's the way the world is
Get just what you can
Wake up again tomorrow
A little less a man
Yeah, oh, yeah, mmm....
