Kids listen up and follow me
Throw all your dreams away
Resort to greed
Everybody listen up and follow me
Throw all your dreams away
Resort to greed right now

We all play dumb and that's the reason that you can't believe what I say
You should know the answer to this question
You ask it every day

I'll contend to the death I'm an innocent man
I'll contend to the death I'm an innocent man

We still play dumb and that's the reason that you don't really hear what I say
You should know the answer to this question
You ask it every day

I'll contend to the death I'm an innocent man
I'll contend to the death I'm an innocent man

So...
Kids listen up and follow me
Throw all your dreams away
Resort to greed
Everybody listen up and follow me
Throw all your dreams away
Resort to greed right now

You can try all you like but you'll never replace it
You're better off trying to forget and erase it
Maybe one day you won't misplace it
But the truth is hideous and you have to face it
