Mommas in the factory Daddy's in the mine Thanks to Andrew Carnegie The steel runs our lives Trying to keep a job is like natural selection Fighting for positions like the 84 election Grover versus Blaine In the gilded age This is one example of political strain Only way to power is bribery and graft That's the only reason that Congress stays intact Yeah it's pretty wild living in the age of industry But the rights of common people is an ancient history Gotta join a Labor union gotta have a voice Because unrestrained enterprise has left me no choice Oh it's such a shame No one's listening to what we got to say Oh it's such a shame When you're living in, in the gilded age Oh it's such a shame No one cares about the people anyway Oh it's such a shame When you're living in, in the gilded age I can't go to school Cause my family's gotta eat but what's the point of eating all this uninspected meat What's the point of working if it's slowly killing me What's the point of banking with all this dishonesty Business tycoons just a bunch of clowns Rockefeller going to turn the country upside down but Who's going to fight for the rights of the poor cause Democracy doesn't seem to work anymore so Oh it's such a shame No one's listening to what we got to say Oh it's such a shame When you're living in, in the gilded age Oh it's such a shame No one cares about the people anyway Oh it's such a shame When you're living in, in the gilded age Because we're living in the gilded age Because we're living in the gilded age Because we're living in the gilded age Because we're living in the gilded age America is putting me in a cage Because we're living in the gilded age Politics is causing me so much rage Because we're living in the gilded age Rails to connect all of the madness Labor of children giving me sadness Corruption is found on the national stage Because we're living in the gilded age Forgettable presidents are such a bore Hayes and Garfield and so much more Nobody even remembers their names Cause they were living in the gilded age Wonder if I could get rich one day Take advantage of the system someday But for now I'll work and try to save money Cause the cost of living isn't anything funny But I know that everything will be alright And I won't have to work on the assembly line But I guess that I'll just leave it up to fate Cause I know that I am living in the gilded age
