Lyrics A Piece of the Pie - Randy Newman

A Piece of the Pie

Like us all, you want the very best of life
A car, a house, a neighborhood that’s nice
With flowers and trees and lots of little kids around
Where public schools aren’t breeding grounds for vice
You say you’re working harder than you ever have
You say you got two jobs, and so’s your wife
Living in the richest country in the world
Wouldn’t you think you’d have a better life?
If you lived in Norway
You’d be fine right now
Get sick there
You make the doctor wait
If you lived in Belgium
You could mediate
Hey knock it off!
And the French fries are great
Hey!
Jesus Christ, it stinks here high and low!
The rich are getting richer — I should know
While we’re going up, you’re going down
And no one gives a shit but Jackson Browne
Jackson Browne
Jackson
Jackson
There’s a famous saying someone famous said
«As General Motors go, so go we all!»
Johnny Cougar’s singing, It’s their country now
He’ll be singing for Toyota by the fall
That’s not true
John’s a patriot!
He’s not like you
He’s a-
Jesus Christ, it stinks here low and high!
Some get rich, and others just get by
Bono’s off in Africa, he’s never around
Country turns its lonely eyes to who?
Jackson Browne
Jackson Browne
Jackson Browne
A piece of the pie
That’s all we’re asking for
A piece of the pie
