Honest men, working hard
Working hard, by the yard
Getting used, getting screwed
System built to you abuse
Biberkopf

Get up early, form a queue
Stand up straight and be used
Honesty, it never pays
But they keep you afraid Biberkopf

And they know just what to do
To keep you completely screwed
The milk of human kindness, you,
While they haven’t got a clue
Biberkopf

Got the system all sewn up
They keep you down, keep it corrupt
They keep you down, and continue up
They’ll just watch you self-destruct
Biberkopf

You got one arm, and won’t conform
You’ll never make the norm
You’ve got one arm and you won’t conform
You’ll never make the norm
Biberkopf
