Lyrics

Got the message again, tonight
Said now don’t try to run, don’t try to hide, and don’t try to fight
Just give us all the money that you made today
So you can sleep, safe and sound tonight

Go to work every day, right on time
Work the job that they’ve planned, bury your head in the sand, and turn a blind eye to their crimes
Just keep your mouth shut and don’t say a word
And you’ll be doing just fine

‘Cause they’re the racket
The racket

Hey

There’s no way out, no escape
Yeah nothing can be done, this war can’t be one, so just accept your fate
And give ‘em all the money that you made today
Before, it’s too late

‘Cause they’re the racket
The racket
