A Piece of the Pie

Like us all, you want the very best of life
A car, a house, a neighborhood that's nice
With flowers and trees and lots of little kids around
Where public schools aren't breeding grounds for vice

You say you're working harder than you ever have

You make the doctor wait
If you lived in Belgium

And the French fries are great
Hey!

Bono's off in Africa, he's never around
Country turns its lonely eyes to who?

A piece of the pie
That's all we're asking for
