A Setup Lyrics


E Town Concrete A Setup


Johnny never went to college.
He couldn't afford the fee.
He got lucky; he had an uncle who worked for NBC.
Now Johnny's taking for people who shop from the TV
Mostly wealthy housewives who buy expensive jewerly.

"It's a setup, to keep you down. They set up you, then knock you"

Johnny got laid-off, his job sent overseas.
He made about 50 bucks day, his replacement $3.
My mother never had much money; my grades were never all that great.
So how f..ck am I supposed to learn if eduation cost more than I make?
And how f..ck the am I supposed to earn when good jobs want a college degree?
Seven bucks an hour, what kind of future does that leave for me?!

"It's a setup, to keep you down. They set up you, then knock you"(2x)

Johnny's is going through some tough times and barely making both ends meet.
He can't find a jod on account of the economy.
Johnny's feeling desperate.
He's got kids to feed.
So the day I met Johnny, he robbing me.
