lyrics

Well the rich man’s got his money.
And the poor man’s got his sin
The young man’s got his women
And the old man’s got his gin.

I said the white man’s got his burden
And the black man’s got his race.
Ain’t we all got somethin'
To keep us in our place?


Try to get ahead
Join the living dead
Don the suit and tie
And work until I die (gotta have it)

Chorus:

All for one and one for all
And nobody gives a damn
Saw all my heroes fall
And never rise again

All for one and one for all
Ya gotta get it while you can
Might be the joke of the great white hope
But who’s the better man?

Sweatin' on the street
