The Rich Get Richer
The Rich Get Richer
The rich get richer, the poor remain
Just how much wealth does anyone need?
Maybe it's just that the world's insane.
For some the whole harvest, for many... one grain.
Just where does prosperity turn into greed?
For the rich to get richer, the poor remain.
What the desire for gain on gain
When government cuts make hand-to-mouth bleed
Maybe it's just that the world's insane.
When women and children are slain
Because a selfish deal was a heartless seed
And the rich get richer, the poor remain.
Their hopes and chances: acid rain
Surely there are better ways to proceed?
Maybe it's just that the world's insane.
When food banks are the key link in the poor's food chain
When a guaranteed roof's the need
While rich get richer, the poor remain
When riches could easily intercede
With their tax off-sets, accountancy fixes so their money can breed
Yet the rich get richer, the poor remain
Maybe it's just that we're all insane
