When the many have a little and the few have a lot
History has taught
Guns will be shot
When the few have it all and the many have not
Wars have been fought
Solutions must be sought
Before the many rise
And take what the few have got
What the few have got
Backs are not ladders to be climbed for free
Things cant go on as they’ve gone before
Many have died so the rich could have more
We’ve got to make poverty history
When a child gets sold by an auctioneer
Got to interfere
The one who’s the profiteer
When the money means more than the atmosphere
Fools domineer
Situation’s severe
Now the beat gets strong
And deceit disappear
All becomes clear
Strength replaces fear
Life, not money, I revere
Backs are not ladders to be climbed for free
Things cant go on as they’ve gone before
Many have died so the rich could have more
We’ve got to make poverty history
Trickle down
Didn’t make it to the ground
So sayeth us
So sayeth the dust
When the many have a little and the few have a lot
History has taught
Guns will be shot
When the few have it all and the many have not
Wars have been fought
Solutions must be sought
Before the many rise
And take what the few have got
What the few have got
Backs are not ladders to be climbed for free
Things cant go on as they’ve gone before
Many have died so the rich could have more
We’ve got to make poverty history
When the many have a little and the few have a lot
When the few have it all and the many have not
