Deep in a factory
The paupers are allowed no mistakes
They receive pittance and bottom feed
All for the good of top dollar fakes
A doe-eyed girl has misplaced a seam
And one slip is all it takes
For the man on top to rant and scream
To turn a virgin to a rake

She said:
But I never hurt no one

The cost of living's getting high again
And we're short on change
Here's the case: "wrong place wrong time" again
What a reality!

The young soldier clutched his rifle
And renounced all of his love
For king and country
He gave his bayonet a hearty shove
He felt no remorse as he saw
The life leave his enemies eyes
But he felt it when his mother missed the blood on his hands
And believed all his lies

He said:
But I never hurt no one

The cost of living's getting high again
And we're short on change
Here's the case: "wrong place wrong time" again
What a reality!
It's no consequence to vagrants which side will have won;
Because the only sound they'll ever hear is the rattle of a machine gun

The cost of living's getting high again
And we're short on change
Here's the case: "wrong place wrong time" again
What a reality!
The dirt with clearer consciences won't survive for long
The clean with their reddened hands
Decide what's stays here and what gets gone
