2012: “CEO pay is 380 times average worker's - AFL-CIO” http://money.cnn.com/2012/04/19/news/economy/ceo-pay/index.htm

Do they know, three hundred and eighty times more than you do?
do they think, three hundred and eighty times more than you do?
do they work, three hundred and eighty times more than you do?
then why the fuck, does he get paid three hundred and eighty times more than you do?
Well I think, they are going too far, I think they are getting away,
with our future, our past, everything that we once had
and I work, and I like it, I haven’t had it bad so far
but my degree, seems to be, worth less than the paper it was printed on

and my friends, and my family, stuck working dead end jobs
what do they do, to deserve it, a minimum wage barely helping at all
this system is not for us, it is rigged it is not hard to see
without workers, what would you have? But the workers are always the ones to bleed

pull yourselves up by your bootstraps, is what they always say
they always forget to tell you, just how those boots get made
they are products of thievery, of telling the poor to be thankful
they are fine with you starving, so long as you’re willing and able

To know, 380 times more than they do
to work, 380 times more than they do
to fight, 380 times more than they do
to make, 380 times less than they do

so I think its time to redefine, just how this wealth is spread
who deserves to benefit, who deserves to be fed
things may be getting worse, but we can still resist
And im no master at economics, but let me tell you this:

you’re worth, more than the sweat off your brow
you’re worth, more than the night shifts allow
your worth, is something that they cant buy
your worth, is only yours to define


Because we are worth more than their dollars
