One for you and two for them is
Not enough, not enough
To work you fingers bloody
Not enough
One for you and ten for them is
Not enough, not enough
To try and feed your family
Not enough
If they can't own you...
They'd just as soon throw you away
One for you and two for god is
Too much, too much
The meek inherit nothing
Too much
One for you and ten for god is
Too much, too much
Gabriel charges to play
Too much
If they can't own you...
They'd just as soon throw you away
Give it away
They tax your soul but I won't pay
Hey hey, give it away
They tax your soul but I won't pay
Hold the door open for a thief
Give a hood to a racist
Stand naked for a rapist
Well that's what you're saying
When you keep on paying
And you keep on staying down for...
... laying down for this
If they can't own you...
They'd just as soon throw you away
Give it away
They tax your soul but I won't pay
Hey hey, give it away
They tax your soul but I won't pay
Cuz they can't own me
I'm here to deal only
In truth and nothing else
Throw everything else away
