So |
| So you make a little money |
| Off of somebody else’s sweat |
| So some people starve a little |
| While you get fat |
| While you get fat |
| So you grind and grind |
| And you push and shove |
| And claim that those most worthy |
| Will get what they deserve |
| What they deserve |
| It can’t be true |
| It can’t be true |
| Because I’ve seen too many hungry faces |
| I’ve seen too many with the likes of you |
| It can’t be true |
| For you everything has its price |
| You give nothing away for free |
| If silence were truly golden |
| I guess no one could speak |
| No one could speak |
| You have money at your fingertips |
| People at your beck and call |
| And you’re fool enough |
| To think for a price |
| You can have the whole wide world |
| For all our sakes |
| And all our lives |
| We must hope the words |
| That come from your lips |
| We must hope those words are lies |
| For all our sakes |
| And all our lives |
| We must hope the dreams |
| Soulless visions that you have |
| Are never realized |
| So |
| You’ve got a big house |
| And you drive a fancy car |
| So what if your pockets are full |
| If you have an empty heart |
| You snap your fingers |
| And all the waters part |
| So what if the people bow down |
| If they show you no regard |
| Your left hand |
| Always washes your right |
| So what if you trust in God |
| If you can’t sleep at night |
| You think you’ve made it |
| You think you’ve got what everyone wants |
| So what if you’re a big fat man |
| With an empty little heart |
| Who has made a little money |
| Off of somebody else’s sweat |
| Who watched the people starve |
| While you got fat |
| While you got fat |
| You got fat |
| You got fat |
