Yes, it's fun when you're young
Beneath an innocent sun
And the unicorns play in the fields

And your daddy drives slow
With his Cadillac soul
His big strong hands on the wheel

And life is a dream of serene machines
That all seem to care how you feel
But then you grow up and it's never enough
And money's just something to steal

It's every man for himself
So grab the wealth
Feel the poor under your heel
It's a brand new deal (a brand new deal)

A brand new deal
(A brand new deal)

Then you learn it in school
Between the lies and the rules
The fairy tales and the charades

They must think you're a fool
You know none of it's true
It's all a rigged game we play

And the banks are thieves with infinite greed
And power is the coin you pay
Then countries are done, it's just money and guns
And cocaine and hookers for days

It's every man for himself
So grab the wealth
Feel the poor under your heel
In the brand new deal (the brand new deal)

The brand new deal
(The brand new deal)

And come on
Come on, come on, come on

You know the law's on sale
When you're too big to fail
And every congressman comes with a price
And the streets are a jail
For the weak and the frail
A predator's paradise

Yes, we all know how the cold wind blows
And cuts like the blade of a knife
It's a zero sum game, you gotta learn how to play
Learn how to load the dice

It's every man for himself
So grab the wealth
Feel the poor under your heel
In the brand new deal (the brand new deal)

Yes, it's (the brand new deal)
