lyrics

(chorus)
they run the company they control the money
they run the company they control the money
they run the company they control the money
they control the money

there is a vault that's hidden underground
where all the cash and profit can be found
yes every cent the company's ever earned
goes in the safe before it is returned

the problem is the ones who hold the key
don't give a shit about you or me
and that is why your paycheck is always small
all the rest they gladly take it all

I have a plan to take the money back
I know the safe's impossible to crack
the only way I think we can succeed
we infiltrate the room that holds the key

so get your mask and grab your leather gloves
we'll enter from the office up above
don't make a sound security will hear
now get the key while the coast is clear

chorus

we got the key and didn't leave a trace
the hardest part was getting to the safe
with armored guards patrolling right outside
but there's a mole who will be our guide

she got the guards to go and take a break
now is our chance at last for us to take
what should be ours but they kept out of reach
divide it up a fairer share to each

we won this round
but they will rebound
you still have no say
in how much you're paid

cuz businesses
executives
control the purse
and the workforce

chorus
