Tell the governor that I need some bread
Just trying to keep my family fed
Working two jobs, seven days of the week
Can't get ahead and I'm losing sleep

'Cause it's a game
And I'm here to tell you, right here to tell you it's a shame
The way they keep us down, don't you know it's a game?

Send a letter to the Capitol Hill
Tell them a working man can't pay his bills
While they're out there getting their shoes shined
I got holes in the soles of mine

It's a game
And I'm here to tell you, right here to tell you it's a damn shame
The way they keep us down, don't you know it's a game?

'Cause it's a game
And I'm here to tell you, right here to tell you it's a shame
The way they keep us down, don't you know it's a game?
And I'm here to tell you, right here to tell you it's a shame
The way they keep us down, don't you know it's a game?
It's a game
