  • Like I feel, I'm so uncertain
    I'm all edgy, I need an extra nation
    It takes a fool to jump into the fire
    Unless the take is too good, you can't return

    So, when did you know
    There was an issue with these greedy pigs?
    So let's take, take what we're feeling
    Now we can change what they've been doing
    With no restraint, no restraint

    Like I can feel, I know it hurting
    It's who cares, it's really disconcerting
    They pull the strings and we run in the cold
    While they float down on their parachutes of gold

    So, when did you know
    There was an issue with these greedy pigs?
    So let's take, they've always been there
    Now we can see, what they've been doing
    With no restraint, now we can see
    Who they've been screwing, it's you and me

    They don't live like you and me
    It's a different kind of luxury
    Drawn on by the pain of the nicotine

    So let's take, they've always been down
    Now we can see, what they've been doing
    With no restraint, now we can see
    How they've been screwing, what they have ruined
    With no restraint, no restraint Writer/s: GORDON SCOTT KENNEDY, PETER KENNETH FRAMPTON
