Big Country - What Are You Working For lyrics

There was a crooked man And he wore a crooked smile He built a crooked highway And it ran for miles and miles With money from the revenue Sponsorship from Ford It barely holds together With the goodwill of the Lord In the penthouse of the baron The little children sleep Daddy talks to smugglers While the armed gorillas creep Poison for the great unwashed Business for the mob Another teenage murder It’s just trouble on the job Now I see what I must see The poor do time the rich go free You keep the faith and they keep score Is this what you were working for A newsleak in the city Another scandal breaks Sex and d** in city hall Someone’s on the make Legal bounty hunters Aim their lawsuits well The victim talks to Playboy Says I guess I’ll go to hell Now I see what I must see The poor do time the rich go free You keep the faith and they keep score Is this what you were working for Now I see what I must see The poor do time the rich go free You keep the faith and they keep score Is this what you were working for Now I see what I must see The poor do time the rich go free You keep the faith and they keep score Is this what you were working for
