The time has come
Come to make a choice
Forgotten by our governement
I thought it was my voice
As the truth starts to become apparent
You know it was lies
A politicians talent
Tats, beer, music our world wide bond
In a white collar world
They sing a different song
When you meet in the street
Remember walk proud
You made your country strong
The system let us down

Chorus

How many times listen to faces full of lies
How Many times going to stand alone not even try
It's only time before i hit you right between the eyes
Can't waste my time, its my life until i die

The reward you get
For your aches and pains
Is a weekly insult
No chance for gains
For years you're stuck
Between dealers and homeless
The Man in the middle
Always doing his best
Are you still proud
Of who & what you are?
You can bet your ass
The boss likes his new car
We go our way and they go theirs
Greed takes over
And who the fuck cares
The money makers in their pressed wool suits
I got sweat on my face
And dirt on my boots
When you're handing me my last paycheck
With a smile on your face
Cause your a lying prick
The companies going south
And are you going with it
The bank wants my house and everything in it
Seen it in others eyes
Like a failure left alone
You're a working class hero
From the day you were born
