I’m Out to Get Billy Bragg and Wilco

I'm out to get your greenback dollar
I'm out to get your silver change
I'm out to get your long black limo
You kept me down on my knees too long

Now my daddy before me, he worked like I work
He was worked to death forty years or so
Now my mama she died from grieving over him
How old she was I never did know

I'm out to get your greenback dollar
I'm out to get your silver change
I'm out to get your long black limo
You kept me down on my knees too long

Now the building you own you won at gambling
On dice and horses and ticker-tape machines
But that's no sign that you are smarter than I am
I'm going to show you just what I mean

I'm out to get your easy money
I'm out to get my share of your gold
I'm out to get your whiskey and women
I'm going to get back my life you stole

Now I went to the judge and I talked with the tenants
We told him we had no hot water in the sink
He spent a half an hour upon his bench there
To tell us what a fine reputation our landlord's got
