Cops broke my door down, I can't lock it,
Army man gonna hit me with a rocket
Rockefeller got a hand in my pocket,
Rockefeller got a hand in my pocket.
I only want a simple life, I pay my subway fare
Lookin out for my human rights,
I'm lookin for some clean fresh air
But, oh Mister Rockefeller,
Pretty soon you might hear me complain,
If you don't take your hand out-a my pocket,
and give a-way some of your change.
Cops broke my door down, I can't lock it,
Army man gonna hit me with a rocket
Rockefeller got a hand in my pocket,
Rockefeller got a hand in my pocket.
Take a look at me, Mr. Rockefeller
I keep my doorway neat
And I try not to smile while I'm walkin around
Cause I know you'd like to tax my feet
Oh, Mr. Rockefeller, I'm sorry if you get bored
So why don't you just pick up your phone
And stop the war on the poor?
Cops broke my door down, I can't lock it,
Army man gonna hit me with a rocket
Rockefeller got a hand in my pocket,
Rockefeller got a hand in my pocket.
Oh, Mr. Rockefeller, how can you look so clean?
Mmmm, Mr. Rockefeller - must be comin out green
no, don't you go puttin no supermarket
Anywhere near my home town
Everybody gonna get up in the mornin
And burn it right to the ground.
Cops broke my door down, I can't lock it,
Army man gonna hit me with a rocket
Rockefeller got a hand in my pocket,
Rockefeller got a hand in my pocket.
