Lyrics:

They'll dangle that Gem, All up in your face
They'll say you can have it, if you just win this race
Just to keep you working
Just to keep you working
Just to keep you working
Just to keep you working

They'll crawdad and hide, they'll sit and they'll stall
Don't ask them to pass it, they will drop the ball
Just to keep you thinking
Just to keep you thinking
Just to keep you thinking
Just to keep you thinking

They'll show you that girl, with the beautiful hair
That don't make no sense, and still can make it anywhere
Just to keep you angry
Just to keep you angry
Just to keep you angry
Just to keep you angry

You must feed their sheep, before they're done with you
So they'll give you soap, with some cold hot water too
Just to keep you feeling
Just to keep you feeling
Just to keep you feeling
Just to keep you feeling

In exchange for your spirit, they'll give to you two
Or three or four more 'til you don't know what to do
Just to keep you drinking
Just to keep you drinking
Just to keep you drinking
Just to keep you drinking

They'll accuse some ducks, and you'll go and fight
They'll marvel n' profit, as how they were right
Just to keep you filthy
Just to keep you filthy
Just to keep you filthy
Just to keep you filthy

They'll find you some saviors, for you to look up to
And you'll go kill them, Put fear into you
Just to keep you lying
Just to keep you lying
Just to keep you lying
Just to keep you lying

They day will come, where they become you
Oh always been there, you've just been the fool
Just to keep you working
Just to keep you filthy
Just to keep you lying
Just to keep you buying
Just to keep you crying
Just to keep you filthy
Just to keep you angry
Just to keep you workin
Just to keep you workin
Just to keep you workin
Just to keep you workin
Just to keep you workin
Just to keep you workin
Just to keep you workin
Just to keep you
Just to keep you
Just to keep you
