He's a self-made man
He's a self-made man
He's a self-made man
Standing on our hands
He made his fortune off a smart idea
A bit of luck and a lack of fear
He got a leg up from his daddy, but
Compared to all his friends, it weren't that much
He didn't string the power lines or pave the roads
Build all the hospitals or bail the bank's loans
But he's got no one else to thank
So he puts all of his profits in an offshore bank
No, he didn't need no one else
'Cause he got here by himself
And he didn't dig that ditch
But he's the one who made him rich?
Pass it down the line
Baby, where's that smile?
'Cause if you work hard then you could be him too
We'll all be billionaires
If we work hard and don't share
In the self-made man's paradise, we preach
If regulation's getting in his way
He'll take the minister on dinner dates
A tax break and a subsidy
And you can cut it from the ABC
But he don't take handouts, he's not on welfare
He's not the burden, so why should he share?
It's sad, you can't take care of yourself
But you're not getting your hands on his sacred wealth
So get down on your knees
For your financial deity
But he didn't sew that stitch
And he's the one who made him rich?
Pass it down the line
Baby, where's that smile?
'Cause if you work hard then you could be him too
We'll all be billionaires
If we work hard and don't share
In the self-made man's paradise, we preach
Pass it down the line
Baby, where's that smile?
'Cause if you work hard then you could be him too
We'll all be billionaires
If we work hard and don't share
In the self-made man's paradise, we preach
He don't make when he creates
When he takes, he stakes away
He don't make when he creates
When he takes, he stakes away
But he's a self-made man
He's a self-made man
Standing on our hands
He's a self-made man
He's a self-made man
Standing on our hands
He made his fortune off a smart idea
A bit of luck and a lack of fear
He got a leg up from his daddy, but
Compared to all his friends, it weren't that much
He didn't string the power lines or pave the roads
Build all the hospitals or bail the bank's loans
But he's got no one else to thank
So he puts all of his profits in an offshore bank
No, he didn't need no one else
'Cause he got here by himself
And he didn't dig that ditch
But he's the one who made him rich?
Pass it down the line
Baby, where's that smile?
'Cause if you work hard then you could be him too
We'll all be billionaires
If we work hard and don't share
In the self-made man's paradise, we preach
If regulation's getting in his way
He'll take the minister on dinner dates
A tax break and a subsidy
And you can cut it from the ABC
But he don't take handouts, he's not on welfare

'Cause if you work hard then you could be him too
We'll all be billionaires
If we work hard and don't share
In the self-made man's paradise, we preach
Pass it down the line
Baby, where's that smile?
'Cause if you work hard then you could be him too
We'll all be billionaires
If we work hard and don't share
In the self-made man's paradise, we preach
He don't make when he creates
When he takes, he stakes away
He don't make when he creates
When he takes, he stakes away
But he's a self-made man
He's a self-made man
Standing on our hands
