It's so obvious that everything is free in a rich man's world.
Waste not want not, in this most perfect of worlds.
The rich get fatter while the poor stay thin,
the game is rigged and you can never win,
so rip it off!
Chorus: C'mon, steal it! Just rip it off, baby! C'mon, steal it!
And if the fat cats get so blinded with greed and keep the stuff you need,
well you know you gotta do whatever you can
and if they're swimming in gold and left you in the cold,
well you know, stick it to the man!
Just rip it off!
[Chorus]
Because the cameras can't see you, no , the cameras can't see you, so go ahead and rip it off!
Now in the first world, the rich drive by in their limousines
while you and I, we're just nickeled and dimed--we're just driven to our knees.
A hungry man is an angry man, when the chips are down you do what you can.
[Chorus]
Because the cameras can't see you, so go ahead and rip it off, just rip it off.

I found this album after DSiSM was used in Grimace shake tiktoks of all things. What a funny way to find the best Tally Hall album, even if they don't call themselves Tally Hall here. Bryant Taylor
I think the most comfort I've felt in this life was being fifteen and playing this game at 2am. Words cannot describe how much this game meant to me caracalled
