Lyrics A Little Share of Plenty - Ian Gillan

A Little Share of Plenty

I haven’t got a job because they said
They couldn’t employ a no-good freak
I wanted a position at the top, no training and a two day week
I was born into this world and I’m entitled to the luxuries that I desire
I think I’ll go to Mars, it means soothen
If a form of life is higher
Lead me to the land of flood and hunger
Take me to the streets of dust and death
Teach me that a little share of plenty
Is better than a smaller share of less
I had to sell my car because I never arned enough
To pay the pric of fuel
Now I’m playing my guitar because you understand that I’ve got the blues
The country’s going bad because the government is mad
You know they just can’t see
Gonna lock myself away for years there’s nothing here for me
Lead me to the land of flood and hunger
Take me to the streets of dust and death
Teach me that a little share of plenty
Is better than a smaller share of less
Walking thru' the streets you know
I haven’t eaten nothin' for a week or two
I imagine that my belly’s gonna swell
Until I can’t see my shoes
But maybe I can make it if I see some food
I’ll take it as I’m passing by
If they catch me they can hang me
But at least I’ll know they ain’t justified
Lead me to the land of flood and hunger
Take me to the streets of dust and death
Teach me that a little share of plenty
Is better than a smaller share of less
Oh lead me to the land of flood and hunger
Take me to the streets of dust and death
Teach me that a little share of plenty
Is better than a smaller share of less
Lead me to the land of flood and hunger
Take me to the streets of dust and death
Teach me that a little share of plenty
Is better than a smaller share of less
Oh lead me to the land of flood and hunger
Take me to the streets of dust and death
Teach me that a little share of plenty oh
Is better than a smaller share of less
