Did you hear the news? It's all that they talk about Your silver spoon is rusted from the inside out Now you're playin' with the big boys 'Till somebody else comes and fills the void Give them what they're asking for Let them whip the whipping boy Say, say, say What they pay you to Say, say, say We're all just peasants in the Way, way, way But you'll never keep us down We'll never make a sound When we burn your kingdom to the ground Money and sex Will get you on the magazines But cash the check Before you leave the limousine Soon you'll be gone without a trace like evidence in a fireplace So, open up your trophy case Stash some money, save some face Say, say, say What they pay you to Say, say, say We're all just peasants in the Way, way, way But you'll never keep us down We'll never make a sound When we burn your kingdom to the ground There comes a time When your time is up There's nothing left To fill your cup Liar, a waste Now you're forever stainded The storm you chased Has now become a hurricane So crank up the getaway? You know there's nothing left to say Impossible to be replaced That's what you thought yesterday Say, say, say What they pay you to Say, say, say We're all just peasants in the Way, way, way But you'll never keep us down We'll never make a sound When we burn your kingdom to the ground When we burn your kingdom to the ground
