Remastered by Greg DiCrosta, GregDiCrosta.com 2022

lyrics

Verse 1: Workin' at the factory all day,
Breakin' your ass, gettin' nothing for pay
You're workin' too hard and so is your wife
Spend all your time down at the mill
The boss will work you til you get killed
Don't you think that you deserve a better life?

Chorus: But life is run by the rich, for the rich,
Ain't it a bitch
By the rich, for the rich,
Ain't it a bitch

Verse 2: Keep gettin' sent bills that you can't meet,
You can't even keep the shoes on your feet
Wonderin' how your family's gonna get fed
You get home at night and you drink your Bud
That you bought with your sweat and blood
Gonna stay this way until you're dead

Chorus

Bridge: Big business is filthy and dirty
The bottom's gonna drop out like back in the 30's
Politicians will stand on the side
And count their money as we starve and die
Well, you know that this world ain't got long
The weak get devoured by the strong
Everybody's sittin' back singin' the same old song, they're singin'

Chorus

Verse 3: Buy more products commercials urge ya,
The news is filled with corporate mergers
When is all this madness gonna stop? When's it gonna stop now?
We've been beaten down, there's no more rage
We're livin' like fuckin' animals in a cage
It's gonna stay this way until the bomb is dropped

Chorus

Happy Ending formed in 1983. Inspired by garage rock, psychedelia and folk rock, the songs on debut vinyl LP “Have A Nice Day!” sported lyrics dark with Reagan-era political dread. Thirty years later, the current lineup features original members Hank Hoffman and Richard Brown—now playing guitar and flute as well as sax—along with drummer Tom Smith and bassist Randy Stone. Pop meets psych freakout. ... more
