Might as well forget about it
Might as well forget about it
Might as well forget about it
Might as well forget about it

Thought you had a good thing cooking
The future was looking good
But the rules were meant to be broken so you
Might as well forget about it
Might as well forget about it
Might make out pretty good on this one
And you sure could use a win
But it's over before it begins and you know it is

You can save all your coupons and it still won't do no good
'Cause the top's got the bottom exactly where they want 'em yeah

(Might as well forget about it)
(Might as well forget about it)
Yeah you might as well forget about it
Might as well forget about it

Said you want to go into teaching
And try to school the youth on the truth
But you can't find the money for the books so you
Might as well forget about it
Might as well forget about it
The cold truth is that it's all by design
The rich get richer and the rest just get by
Grovel at the bottom got us workin' ourselves to the bone

You can save all your coupons and it still won't do no good
'Cause the top's got the bottom exactly where they want 'em

Might as well forget about it
'Cause there ain't much we can do about it
Might as well forget about it
Might as well ho hoo

(Put your mind somewhere else)
Oh!

(Put your mind somewhere else)

(And try to live it true)

(Put your mind somewhere else)
Put it somewhere else!
(Your people, your health)

(And try to live it true)
Try to live a, try to live a good life for your people and yourself!
(Put your mind somewhere else)
Help one another!
(Your people, your health)
Be good to one another!
(Just live your life)
(And try to live it true)
And try to live it true! Hey!
