Realtime - It's You And Me lyrics

Tom broke all* records to bring us the news

Of every politician and everyone he screws

It ain't about me and it ain't about you

But without world disasters what would Dan rather* do

And who pays those speakers their royal fee

It's you and me, baby, it's you and me

Cheer the second baseman earning 19 grand a day

Get that mother of three small kids and take the welfare away

She's only lazy, making babies by the TV -- who needs her

She can't entertain us or hit .293

But who pays the player that royal fee

It's you and me, baby, it's you and me

What we see ain't what we get

The poor don't smile and the rich don't sweat

The harder I work the deeper my debt

What we see ain't what we get
