Guiltiness (talking 'bout guiltiness)
pressed on their conscience.
Oh yeah! Oh yeah!
And they live the live
of false pretence everyday.
Each and everyday. Yeah.
These are the big fish
who always try to eat down the small fish.
A just the small fish.
(And) I tell you again (what):
They would do anything
to materialize their every wish. Oh yeah!
But wait! (woe!)
Woe to the downpressors!
They'll eat the bread of sorrow!
Woe to the downpressors!
They'll eat the bread of sad tomorrow!
Woe to the downpressors!
They'll eat the bread of sorrow! (sad tomorrow!)
Oh, yeah! Oh, yeah!
