A world where the poor stay poor
Where the minimum wage is below our needs
Where fat cats up their prices
And government is blind
Where energy costs are crushing us
And we have to decide food or heating
No one will help us survive
Everyone is to busy helping themselves
And they wonder why so many smoke
So many drink to forget
Take drugs to stop the pain that is life today
The world is drowning
Under political greed
Corrupt governments
And the rich not giving a funk
The lord giveth
He can also taketh away

The lord giveth, the government taketh away

A world where the poor stay poor
Where the minimum wage is below our needs
Where fat cats up their prices
And government is blind
Where energy costs are crushing us
And we have to decide food or heating
No one will help us survive
Everyone is to busy helping themselves
And they wonder why so many smoke
So many drink to forget
Take drugs to stop the pain that is life today
The world is drowning
Under political greed
Corrupt governments
And the rich not giving a funk
The lord giveth
He can also taketh away
