If the Poor Don't Matter |
| If the kids are hungry |
| But there’s nothing to eat, |
| If the baby has a fever |
| But there is no heat, |
| If they’re living in a Chevy |
| As the world walks by, |
| If the poor don’t matter, |
| Then neither do I. |
| If the poor don’t matter, |
| If the poor don’t matter, |
| If the poor don’t matter, |
| Then neither do I. |
| If they’re living in a cardboard |
| Or a packing case, |
| If they’re gone by morning |
| And they leave no trace, |
| If nobody wonders |
| If they live or they die, |
| If the poor don’t matter, |
| Then neither do I. |
| If the poor don’t matter, |
| If the poor don’t matter, |
| If the poor don’t matter, |
| Then neither do I. |
| Push them back, sweep them out, anything to keep them out, |
| Keep them real branded out, standing with their hands out. |
| Knocking at the back gate, radio talking hate, |
| Wrong here, strong here, know they don’t belong here. |
| My house, my car, living like a rock star, |
| Caviar, wet bar, bought another Jaguar. |
| Get it all payday, now its time to play-day, |
| Trouble not to think about, not to make a stink about… |
| If the poor don’t matter, |
| If we chase them away, |
| We’re gonna see them again, boys, |
| On the judgement day. |
| We’re gonna see them again, boys, |
| On the day we die. |
| If the poor don’t matter, |
| Then neither do I. |
| If the poor don’t matter, |
| If the poor don’t matter, |
| If the poor don’t matter, |
| Then neither do I. |
| If the poor don’t matter, |
| If the poor don’t matter, |
| If the poor don’t matter, |
| Then neither do I. |
