NO ONE IN THIS COUNTRY GOT RICH ON HIS OWN
NO ONE IN THIS COUNTRY GOT RICH ON HIS OWN
NOBODY, NOBODY, AT ALL
NOBODY, NOBODY, AT ALL

YOU BUILT A FACTORY OUT THERE, GOOD FOR YOU
BUT I WANT TO BE CLEAR:

YOU MOVED YOUR GOODS TO MARKET ON THE ROADS
THE REST OF US PAID FOR
YOU HIRED WORKERS THE REST OF US PAID TO EDUCATE
YOU WERE SAFE IN YOUR FACTORY WITH FIRE FORCES
THE REST OF US PAID FOR
THERE'S NO ONE IN THIS COUNTRY GOT RICH ON HIS OWN
NOBODY, NOBODY, AT ALL

MARAUDERS WOULD NOT SEIZE EVERYTHING
AT YOUR FACTORY
YOU HIRED NO PROTECTION CAUSE YOU KNEW
THE REST OF US DID

NOW LOOK. YOU BUILT A FACTORY.
IT WAS A GREAT IDEA
GOD BLESS. GOD BLESS.

KEEP A HUNK OF IT. KEEP A VERY BIG HUNK OF IT.
KEEP A HUNK OF IT.
BUT NO ONE IN THIS COUNTRY GOT RICH ON HIS OWN

SO TAKE A HUNK OF THAT AND PAY IT FORWARD
THAT'S THE UNDERLYING SOCIAL CONTRACT
BE PROUD THAT YOU CAN PAY IT FORWARD
FOR THE NEXT KID WHO COMES ALONG

CAUSE NO ONE IN THIS COUNTRY GOT RICH ON HIS OWN
NO ONE IN THIS COUNTRY GOT RICH ON HIS OWN
NOBODY, NOBODY, AT ALL

PAY IT FORWARD
NOBODY, NOBODY AT ALL...(repeat)
