If you take a piece of me
I'm gonna take a piece of you
Hold on to your money
Store it safely in your shoe
You want they got
But, man, you already have it
You take what they make
You do it out of habit
These are really hard times
People begging for morsels
These are really thin times
I guess we need a removal
If you used oil from a plant
Instead of oil from a fossil
There'd be no need for fighting
That's always such a hassle
The bully on the block
That's what you've always been
You cleverly disguise
The what, the where, the when
So what's really going on?
'Cause I really want to know
What about those things
That they never ever show?
These are really hard times
People begging for morsels
These are really thin times
I guess we need a removal
If you used oil from a plant
Instead of oil from a fossil
There'd be no need for fighting
That's always such a hassle
