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

'till somebody else comes and fills the void

give them what they're asking for

let them whip the whipping 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 nothing left

to fill your cup

liar

a waste

now you're forever stainded

the storm you chased

has now become a hurricane

so crank up the getaway?

you know there's nothing 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
