Piece Of The Action

Some have the right connection

Everything they're touching's turnin' to gold

Star and car collection at seventeen years old

All my life, I have strived

To do what they do in a day

If you could see what's surroundin' me

Then you'd know what I say

I have learned now, sister

It's my turn now, mister

I want a piece of the action

I want a piece of the pie

Let me tell ya that

I want a piece of the action

I want a piece of the pie

Before I die

It happens in just a minute

Or that what appears to be

But that ain't why I'm in it

The music's more important to me

If I could play everyday

And hear 'em singin' along

Then I'd be a rich man, see

'Cause you'd know my song

Ain't a lot I'm askin'

Just a shot I'm askin'

I want a piece of the action

I want a piece of the pie

Let me tell ya that

I want a piece of the action

I want a piece of the pie

Before I die, before I die

Before I die, oh, before I die

Snot-nosed cognate punks

Man, they ain't got a clue

Wipin' their asses

With my hundred dollar bill

It pisses my off

I can't see the attraction

I don't care how many units you sold

Just gimme that kind of action

All this crap is gettin' way too old

I'm tired of sittin' on the goddamn couch

I want a piece of the action

Ay-ay-ay-ay-ay-ay

I want a slice of the pie

Let me tell ya that

I want a piece of the action

I want a piece of the pie

Before I die, before I die

Before I die, before I die

Before I die, before I die

Before I die

Before I roll up, dried-up rotten die
