Chorus:
They've got the world in their pocket, pocket, pocket, pocket
They've got the world in their pocket
And they're up there in control
They've got the world in their pocket
They can shake it, they can rock it
They can kick it for a goal
They've got the world in their pocket
But their pocket's got a hole
There's inflation and pollution
Everything's been bought on credit
In this rotten institution
And they waste the gentle people
Cause the system has no soul
They've got the world in their pocket
But their pocket's got a hole
Unemployment is their glory
If a million children starve
Why that's an old familiar story
And there's rage and there's rebellion
And there's grief from pole to pole
They've got the world in their pocket
But their pocket's got a hole
(Chorus)
Takes a war to keep them perking
And they have to bleed the world
To keep their bloody system working
But the system's self-destructing
While they play that gangster role
They've got the world in their pocket
But their pocket's got a hole
They've got the world in their pocket, pocket, pocket, pocket
They've got the world in their pocket
And they're up there in control
They've got the world in their pocket
But their pocket's got a hole
