[Verse 1]
Somethin's wrong with the people
With the people [?]
They made a guard tower out of the steeple
And they covered up their doors with locks
A place for keepin' polished rocks
[Verse 2]
Spent some time in the ditches
In the ditches [?]
They said don't mind about riches
[?] drown and keep on makin' right
Don't ya know it's all about the fight?
[Chorus]
Realize it's all untrue
Gettin' by is not the best that we can do
Lose early, win late
[Verse 3]
Standin' out in the ashes
In the ashes of the fire
I found out where all the cash is
It's pulsin' through electric wires
Come on and sing along with the wires
[Chorus]
Realize it's all untrue
Gettin' by is not the best that we can do
Lose early, win late
[Instrumental]
[Chorus]
Realize it's all untrue
Gettin' by is not the best that we can do
Lose early, win late
