I went down to the factory Just to pick up my pay Boss man said, "You got no more job here" I said, "That's good, I was leaving anyway" What I wanna work here for? Feel like scum on the earth I push a button from nine 'til four Now, you tell me what that is worth Called my baby on the telephone She said, "No love today" I said, "Listen, baby, I know you're not alone But you the one that is gonna have to pay" I work hard all week Just to keep you nice Bring you my hard-earned pay, baby Then you treat me cold as ice I can't dig it, darling You're playing it too cool Trying to use me for a tool But I'm not gonna let that happen I'm just gonna leave you here to suffer, baby Suffer! So they can point their fingers at me Try to tell me they're cool Everything they fear they don't want me to be At church, at home, and in school But I can see through their disguise Yes, I know their games All you gotta do is look into their eyes, yeah And you can tell that they're all the same Though they may try to tell you they're your friends It's really not true It's just a bunch of jive-ass people Trying to take advantage of you But don't let 'em do it, baby Don't let 'em do it Oh no, please don't Well, they'd ruin you if they could Better get out now while the gettin' still is good Yeah!
