I know a man who got rich owning tenements
Some day the devil's going to raise his rent
That's alright
I hope they make him pay
For every burned-out husband
He ever drove away

Limousine on the runway
Shiny and long
Somebody's been doing somebody wrong
That's alright
Ah, don't it shine
Just to spit on the fender
Does good to this heart of mine

I've been used
By soft-handed takers
And used
By the good life makers
And used
By their cold little promises too
I've been used
By everything I was counting on
Used
Since I was a child in Babylon
Used
But now some change is overdue
I don't want to use you

There ain't no bridge it's just a battle line drawn
Between Mother Nature and every man's son
That's alright
We keep making it pay
We go helping ourselves
We're raping the world that way

I've been used
By liars and takers
And used
By the bad luck makers
And used
By their cold little promises too
I've been used
By everything I was counting on
Used
I turn my back on Babylon
Used
But I know this one thing's true
I don't want to use you

Order in the courtroom
Judges on trial
Order them a cake with a knife and a file
That's alright
Let them go
They've got to die sometime
And prison time moves slow
