Just have to get it whenever you can
A day's work for a whole day's pay
There ain't no reason, there ain't no other way
The only way to make it
Is just go out and take
Even if you have to break
Politicians in high up places
Hiding back of smiling faces
Sure know how to give and take
And fill their banks with the deals they make
Why should we be giving, the world owes us a living
That's the right of a modern man
Little woman at home all day
Husband comes home too tired to play
She takes shelter in her shadow
And gets her loving from another man
She never meant to do it, the times have drove her to it
But now that she's been through the end of it
Had a friend but his mind's all through
He's got his money but he wants mine too
He wanted to take so bad
It drove him crazy, and it drove him mad
Life for him is over, he never tasted clover
Now he's just a modern man
