Workin' It |
Ah, it’s open season here my friend |
It always is; |
it always has been |
Welcome, welcome to the U.S.A |
We’re partying fools in the autumn of our heyday |
And though we’re running out of everything |
We can’t afford to quit |
Before this binge is over |
We’ve got to squeeze off one more hit |
We’re workin' it |
Workin' it |
Soon you will be dancing face-to-face |
With the limits of ambition and the scars of the marketplace |
Welcome to the land of flame and fizz |
Where you will learn that packaging is all that heaven is |
We got the little black car, the little black dress |
Got the guru, the trainer, the full court press |
We got the software, hard drive, CD-ROM |
We got the pager, cell phone, bootleg methaqualone |
The media, the message: you are what you own |
We got the agent, lawyer, lapdog, voyeur |
Talk show, book deal, round mouth, square meal |
We’re so busy covering our asses, we just can’t commit |
«Oh, back off, don’t bother me, baby |
Can’t you see I’m workin' it? |
Workin' it |
It’s plain to see Miss Liberty has not yet come of age |
But, she loves to feed the animals as long as they’re locked up in the cage |
And everybody knows the girl’s got balls of brass |
Aw, kiss my ass |
We’ve got a whole new class of opiates |
To blunt the stench of discontent |
In these corporation nation-states |
Where the loudest live to trample on the least |
They say it’s just the predatory nature of the beast |
But, the barons in the balcony are laughing |
And pointing to the pit |
They say, «Aw look, they’ve grown accustomed to the smell |
Now, people love that shit |
And we’re workin' it? |
Workin' it |
We got the short-term gain, the long-term mess |
We got the suffocating, quarterly consciousness |
Yes man, run like a thief |
New York to Hollywood, hype and glory |
Special effects, no story |
Yes man, run like a thief |
Workin' it |
Workin' it |
Well, you don’t know who the enemy is |
You don’t know |
You don’t know who the enemy is |
Company man |
Eight for me, one for you? |
(Workin' it) |
Very fair? |
Business as usual, business as usual |
