Peasants

Did you hear the news?

It's all that they talk about

Your silver spoon

Is rusted from the inside out

Now you're playin' with the big boys

'Til somebody else comes and fills the void

Give them what they're askin' for

Let them whip the whippin' boy

Say say say

What they pay you to

Say say say

We're all just peasants in the

Way way way

But you'll never keep us down

We'll never make a sound

When we burn your kingdom to the ground

Money and sex

Will get you on the magazines

But cash the check

Before you leave the limousine

Soon you'll be gone without a trace

Like evidence in a fireplace

So open up your trophy case

Stash some money

Save some face

Say say say

What they pay you to

Say say say

We're all just peasants in the

Way way way

But you'll never keep us down

We'll never make a sound

When we burn your kingdom to the ground

There comes a time

When your time is up

There's nothin' left

To fill your cup

Liar

A waste

Now you're forever stained

The storm you chased

Has now become a hurricane

So crank up the getaway

You know there's nothin' left to say

Impossible to be replaced

That's what you thought yesterday

Say say say

What they pay you to

Say say say

We're all just peasants in the

Way way way

But you'll never keep us down

We'll never make a sound

When we burn your kingdom to the ground

When we burn your kingdom to the ground
