LYRICS

It's a rotten world to live in
There's no justice anywhere
The rich have got, the poor just rot
And no one seems to care

If you're looking for the culprits
I can show you two or three
One beside me at the bar
One behind me in the car
And the third, it's the fellow next to me

If there's plenty, someone gets it
If there's not, someone goes short
The strong steal, the weak squeal
And the guilty don't get caught

If you're looking for the culprits
I can show you two or three
One beside me at the bar
One behind me in the car
And the third, it's the fellow next to me

The country's in a muddle
And we don't produce enough
Some are hazy, some are lazy
And no one does his stuff

If you're looking for the culprits
I can show you two or three
One beside me at the bar
One behind me in the car
And the third, it's the fellow next to me
And the third, it's the fellow next to me
The third is the fellow next to me
