[Verse 1] Picked you up downtown in your thousand-dollar shoes, Talkin’ ‘bout the poor while you sip your craft-brew blues. Snappin’ selfies with the boys in hard hats by the street, Post it up online — “Solidarity’s so sweet.” [Chorus] (taunt) Good Time Charlie! — throwin’ your cash around, Good Time Charlie! — never feels the pound. Good Time Charlie! — votes with a shiny smile, Good Time Charlie! — man, you ain’t walked a mile. [Verse 2] Got a ribbon on your jacket for a cause you never knew, Say it’s all for justice while the gas tank’s overdue. Preachin’ ‘bout the system from your penthouse in the sky, While I’m drivin’ through the midnight just to keep my kids alive. [Chorus] (taunt) Good Time Charlie! — savior on parade, Good Time Charlie! — bills already paid. Good Time Charlie! — two problems for one you fix, Good Time Charlie! — my pain is your politics. [Bridge] (groovy swagger, sneering) You wear your conscience like a diamond ring, Every new disaster’s your latest thing. Strike a pose, hashtag the fight, But do your luxury problems ever set the world aright? [Chorus] (extended) Good Time Charlie! — shake your empty cup, Good Time Charlie! — we’re the ones payin’ up. Good Time Charlie! — life’s a game you play, Good Time Charlie! — this is my second job today. [Outro / Punchline – hard stop] “Thanks for the ride, Charlie… you still forgot the tip.”
