1
Ah, it's open season here my friend
2
It always is, it always has been
3
Welcome, welcome to the U.S.A.
4
We're partying fools in the autumn of our heyday
5
And though we're running out of everything
6
We can't afford to quit, no
7
Before this binge is over
8
We've got to squeeze off one more hit
9
We're workin' it
10
(Workin', workin)
11
Workin' it
12
(Workin')
13
Soon you will be dancing face to face
14
With the limits of ambition and the scars of the marketplace
15
Welcome to the land of flame and fizz
16
Where you will learn that packaging is all that Heaven is
17
We got the little black car, the little black dress
18
We got the guru and the trainer and the full court press
19
We got the software, hard drive, CD ROM
20
We got the exploitation.com
21
We got the pager, cell phone, bootleg methaqualone
22
The media, the message "You are what you own"
23
We got the agent, lawyer, lapdog, voyeur
24
Talk show, book deal, round mouth, square meal
25
We're so busy covering our asses
26
We just can't commit
27
We say, "Oh back off, don't bother me baby"
28
Can't you see I'm workin' it
29
(Workin', workin)
30
Workin' it
31
(Workin')
32
It's plain to see Miss Liberty has not yet come of age
33
But she loves to feed the animals
34
As long as they're locked up in the cage
35
Yeah, but everybody knows the girl's got balls of brass
36
Aw, kiss my ass
37
We've got a whole new class of opiates
38
To blunt the stench of discontent
39
In these corporation nation states
40
Where the loudest live to trample on the least
41
They say it's just the predatory nature of the beast
42
But, the barons in the balcony are laughing
43
And pointing to the pit, they say, "Aw look
44
They've grown accustomed to the smell
45
Now, people love that shit
46
We're workin' it"
47
(Workin', workin)
48
Workin' it
49
(Workin')
50
We got the short term gain, the long term mess
51
We got the suffocating, quarterly consciousness
52
(Workin')
53
Yes man, run like a thief
54
New york to Hollywood, hype and glory
55
Special effects and no story
56
(Workin')
57
Yes man, run like a thief
58
Workin' it
59
Workin' it
60
(Workin')
61
Well, you don't know who the enemy is
62
(Workin')
63
You don't know
64
You don't know who the enemy is
65
(Workin')
66
Company man
67
(Workin')
68
Eight for me, one for you
69
(Workin')
70
Very fair
71
Business as usual, business as usual
