A Piece of the Pie - Randy Newman

Like us all, you want the very best of life

A car, a house, a neighborhood that’s nice

With flowers and trees and lots of little kids around

Where public schools aren’t breeding grounds for vice

You say you’re working harder than you ever have

You say you got two jobs, and so’s your wife

Living in the richest country in the world

Wouldn’t you think you’d have a better life?

If you lived in Norway

You’d be fine right now

Get sick there

You make the doctor wait

If you lived in Belgium

You could mediate

Hey knock it off!

And the French fries are great

Hey!

Jesus Christ, it stinks here high and low!

The rich are getting richer — I should know

While we’re going up, you’re going down

And no one gives a shit but Jackson Browne

There’s a famous saying someone famous said

«As General Motors go, so go we all!»

Johnny Cougar’s singing, It’s their country now

He’ll be singing for Toyota by the fall

That’s not true

John’s a patriot!

He’s not like you

He’s a-

Jesus Christ, it stinks here low and high!

Some get rich, and others just get by

Bono’s off in Africa, he’s never around

Country turns its lonely eyes to who?

A piece of the pie

That’s all we’re asking for
