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
 Big Country - What Are You Working For - http://motolyrics.com/big-country/what-are-you-working-for-lyrics.html
 A newsleak in the city
 Another scandal breaks
 Sex and drugs 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
