Taking Cuts

from 2014 by Phil McMillion

/

lyrics

why do some people think
that they are better than the rest,
and cut in front of the line
like they are the best.
they wave some cash around
someone takes it and wisks them through
soon many are taking the bribes
and more corruption ensues

[chorus]
they are taking cuts
it should not be allowed
they are taking cuts
they move ahead of the crowd
they are taking cuts
they act so smug and proud
they make me so sick
i call 'em assholes out loud

they get first dibs, and maybe take
more than their share.
leave crumbs for the rest of us
and leave the cupboards bare.
they're the ones who merge at the front
ahead of traffic already queued.
seems like we're always taken advantage of
we're always getting screwed

[repeat chorus]

we need to shame them
and call them out
we need to complain
we need to shout
we can't let them
make their own rules
we shouldn't let them
treat us like fools

[repeat chorus]
