lyrics

They wouldn't last a day walking in my boots, don't see the side of life i see
Never had to work a day with their hands cos they bought themselves a degree
They make the rules and twist the laws, while we pay their salary
Our tax dollars, blood, sweat, and tears pay for their lives of luxury
Luxury! Luxury!

Upper class aristocrats think that they know best
You decide for the working man but you don't live like the rest
Don't you fucking tread on me, there's nothing that i owe you
You've had it easy all your life; you never had a fucking clue

Vote to close the trade schools down, who needs a skilled labor force?
Move the factories out to boot, we're running down a dead end course.
As the gap grows between us and them they're grinding us into the ground.
But try to spend a day in our boots and tell me what you've found

Upper class aristocrats think that they know best
You decide for the working man but you don't live like the rest
Don't you fucking tread on me, there's nothing that i owe you
You've had it easy all your life, you never had a fucking clue
Wouldn't last a day walking in my boots
Wouldn't last a day walking in my boots
Wouldn't last a day walking in my boots
Wouldn't last a day walking in my boots
Upper class aristocrats think that they know best
You decide for the working man but you don't live like the rest
Don't you fucking tread on me, there's nothing that i owe you
You've had it easy all your life, you never had a fucking
