Randy Newman - A Piece Of The Pie lyrics

rate me

Like us all you want, the very best advice<br />

A car, a house a neighborhood, that's nice<br />

Flowers and trees and lots of little kids around<br />

Where public schools are breeding grounds for vice.<br />

<br />

You say you're working harder than you ever have<br />

You say you've got two jobs and so's your wife<br />

Living in the richest country in the world<br />

Wouldn't you think you'd have a better life?<br />

<br />

If you lived in Norway you'd be fine right now<br />

Get sick there, you make the doctor wait<br />

If you lived in Belgium you could mediate<br />

[German screaming]<br />

Hey, knock it off! <br />

And the French fries are great<br />

<br />

Jesus Christ it stinks here high and low<br />

The rich are getting richer, I should know<br />

While we're going up you're going down<br />

No one gives a shit but Jackson Browne<br />

Jackson Browne<br />

Jackson<br />

<br />

There's a famous saying someone famous said<br />

As General Motors goes, so go we all<br />

Johnny Couger's singing it's their country man<br />

He'll be singing for Toyota by the fall<br />

<br />

[That's not true. John's a patriot.<br />

He's not like you. He's a-]<br />

<br />

Jesus Christ, it stinks here low and high<br />

Some get rich and others just get by<br />

Bono's off in Africa, he's never around<br />

Country turns it's lonely him, Jackson Browne<br />

Jackson Browne<br />

Jackson Browne<br />

<br />

A piece of the pie<br />

It's all we're asking for<br />

A piece of the pie<br />

<br />

A piece of the pie<br />

It's all we're asking for<br />

A piece of the pie</
