Gene - As Good As It Gets lyrics

Be careful in life and you'll see The greedy live off you and me This is the code, we can't break history The greedy still fear you and me So get out of the way People have to work Not wallow in the dirt People want to work I bet that This is as good as it gets, yes How can you ask for more? "If you're paid you're not poor" This is as good as it gets, yes We've been bought, we've been sold At least we're not old When red became blue Hopes denied Our dreams sweapt away with the tide So get out of the way People want to work Not fester in the dirt People have to work I bet that This is as good as it gets, yes How can you ask for more? "If you're paid you're not poor" This is as good as it gets, yes We've been bought, we've been sold At least we're not old Can your heart take the cold?
