    It wouldn’t be so bad if the song wasn’t so damn popular

    I looked for them real quick in the comments and I didn’t see them so here’s the lyrics to the actual song:

    I’ve been sellin’ my soul, workin’ all day / Overtime hours for bullshit pay / So I can sit out here and waste my life away / Drag back home and drown my troubles away.

    Pre-Chorus: It’s a damn shame what the world’s gotten to / For people like me and people like you / Wish I could just wake up and it not be true / But it is, oh, it is.

    Chorus: Livin’ in the new world / With an old soul / These rich men north of Richmond / Lord knows they all just wanna have total control / Wanna know what you think, wanna know what you do / And they don’t think you know, but I know that you do / 'Cause your dollar ain’t shit and it’s taxed to no end / 'Cause of rich men north of Richmond.

    I wish politicians would look out for miners / And not just minors on an island somewhere / Lord, we got folks in the street, ain’t got nothin’ to eat / And the obese milkin’ welfare.

    Well, God, if you’re 5-foot-3 and you’re 300 pounds / Taxes ought not to pay for your bags of fudge rounds / Young men are puttin’ themselves six feet in the ground / ‘Cause all this damn country does is keep on kickin’ them down.

    Repeat Pre-Chorus

    Repeat Chorus

    I’ve been sellin’ my soul, workin’ all day / Overtime hours for bullshit pay.
