Longer hours and shorter pay
And we take it, take it, take it.
Shorter fuse and a longer day,
And we take it, take it, take it.
Shorten the leash, and they yank, yank, yank.
Stretch us on the rack, and they crank, crank, crank.
And the wealth flows up to those righteous few
Who take it, take it . . . take it to the bank.
