WHERE’S THE BEEF ?
They say you press a button,
They do the rest.
You don’t even have
To put their best to the test.
They say you give them twenty minutes,
They give you the world,
But what you get is always just
The same that you already heard.
I see the bun, but where’s the beef?
They say there’ll be a trickle-down,
Just wait for it, you’ll see.
There is only so much you can own
To give away some of it for free.
How often have I heard this song
With the melody so sunny?
It always sounded wrong.
I ask you: Where’s the money?
They say it is the real thing,
The best there is in town.
That sparkling thing, it is expensive,
But it is there to own.
So I stop counting my blessings,
Start counting my cash,
But when I come home with my prize,
My face it turns to ash …
They say you press a button,
They do the rest.
You don’t even have
To put their best to the test.
They say you give them twenty minutes,
They give you the world,
But what you get is always just

They say there’ll be a trickle-down,
Just wait for it, you’ll see.

But it is there to own.

Start counting my cash,

My face it turns to ash …
