Get Too Far

[Verse 1]
Crazy thing about the current situation
Well, people read of bankers stealin' with the runaway inflation
And all the union men are strikin' you can hear their voices holler
Oh, well, you'll get your ten-to-twenty but your work ain't worth a dollar

[Chorus 1]
Can you hear them groan
Hear them bitch and moan
See them near and far
No matter who they are
They'll never get too far (Never get too far)
(Never get there, no, no)

[Verse 2]
I had a fight with my old lady she say violence isn't proper
Oh, well, she told me she was leavin' there was no way I could stop her
Now I don't got nobody do my washin', do my cookin'
Well, I'm a hard-workin' man I ain't got time to be good lookin'

[Chorus 2]
Hey, well, what's the entry fee
In this high society
What you gonna do
When it all depends on you
Good luck, baby

[Verse 3]
Well, I'm trainin' for the war, I can see the war's acomin'
Oh, I don't know if I'll be called but I know I won't be runnin'
And all the leaders of the nation will be on the phone acryin'
But they don't know me when I'm fightin', they won't help me when I'm dyin'

[Chorus 1]
Can you hear them groan
Hear them bitch and moan
No matter who they are
They'll never get too far (No)

Can you hear them groan
Hear them bitch and moan
No matter who they are
They'll never get too far (Get too far)

(Whoa, get too far, get too far)
(No, no, no, no, get too far)
(Whoa, whoa, whoa, oh, whoa)
(Whoa, oh, oh, whoa)

[Verse 4]
I can see the war acomin' but I know I won't be runnin'
'Cause I'll never get too far
Oh, the union may be cryin', they'll be cheatin', they'll be lyin'
But they'll never get too far
All the leaders of the nation turn their backs on this inflation
But they'll never get too far

(Whoa, oh, whoa)
(Oh, whoa, whoa, oh, whoa)
(Whoa, oh, whoa)
