The lower you are
On the totem pole
The more you watch what you do
'Cause every mistake,
Big or small,
Can boomerang back on you.
A guy with the jack
Won't give you no slack
While he can do all he wants-
Like make you wait
When he comes to work late
After a night at his haunts.
Not that it always works like that
In every possible case,
But if you are a spoiled rich brat
Your life has a different pace-
You live more at ease,
Your work is a breeze-
You might as well be retired.
While poor suckers work
For a spoiled rich dork
And pray that they don't get fired.
The rich have more room to make mistakes,
And money provides them a cushion,
While every mistake that a poor guy makes
Can prove to be his execution.
And that's how it is-
Our world is like this
To the rich it will treasures unfold,
While indigent dudes
Will be popping qualudes
To forget their lot in this world.
