You gotta beat em
Beat em beat em up
You gotta beat em
Beat em beat em up
You gotta beat em
Beat em beat em up
Beat em up
Beat em up
You gotta beat em
You gotta beat em
You know they're cheatin' anyhow
You gotta beat em
You gotta beat em
You know they're cheatin' anyhow
You gotta beat em
Beat em up

This life is a numbers game
The rich lead the poor get blamed
The rich are happy and they're mean
the poor just obscene
You gotta beat em
You gotta beat em
You know they're cheatin' anyhow
You gotta beat em
You gotta beat em
You know they're cheatin' anyhow
You gotta beat em
Beat em beat em up
You gotta beat em
Beat em beat em up
You gotta beat em
Beat em up
Beat em up

Nice girl with a heart of gold
A little naive a little bold
Knocked up tossed out abandoned
Now she's living on random
You gotta beat em
You gotta beat em
You know they're cheatin' anyhow
She got beat up
She got beat up
you know they're cheatin' anyhow
You gotta beat em
Beat em beat em up
You gotta beat em
Beat em up
You gotta beat em
Beat em beat em up

Mom and dad worked and saved
Good and honest everyday
For their sweat what did they get
An old age home and a medical debt
You gotta beat em
You gotta beat em
You know they're cheatin' anyhow
They got beat up
They got beat up
You know they're cheatin' anyhow
You gotta beat em
Beat em beat em up
You gotta beat em
Beat em beat em up
Beat em beat em up

Come on
Come on
Come on
Come on

We live in a machine machine
We live in a machine machine
We can't keep up with the machine
