Until lately

In my area there is a chain of being
And the most of the attentions is paid to lower things
Around here the rule is good faith
You choose your friends carefully and you're safe.
Well it's just goes to show
How wrong you can be
They say he was in a good position
A man of pride and ambition.
In this world there is one equation
The harder you work, the better is your station
Well tonight on the news i heard them say:
The man in the plaza had a resume.
