There ain't no satisfaction in this poverty
While the fat-cat's getting sleeker now
High on prosperity
That's the way it goes - everybody knows
I don't dare turn my heating up
Can't afford a proper meal
So much for being equal and a level playing field
That's the way it goes - everybody knows
Turn on the news to listen, on the brink of World War Three
Posturing politicians playing games no-one can win
That's the way it goes - everybody knows
The truth gets squeezed to fill the need of corporate greed
And companies find ways to hijack our democracy
But that's the way it goes - everybody knows
Distracted by our smartphones and our Twitter feed
Anaesthetised by Facebook and reality TV
That's the way it goes - everybody knows
We've never been so connected, but the disconnect is real
You're free to express an opinion, but beware the thought police
We've never been so empowered, but the straitjacket is real
There's freedom of information, but the facts are hard to see
That's the way it goes - everybody knows
Who's pulling your strings?
Who's pulling your strings?
Oh tell me you're free
Oh tell me you're free
When you've run out of all your options
And you're turning out the lights
Praying for some kind of miracle
That'll light your dark tonight
That's the way it goes - everybody knows
When you've run out of all your options
And you're turning out the lights
Praying for some kind of miracle
That'll light your dark tonight
That's the way it goes - everybody knows
