Share The Wealth - Shawn Phillips

Who do you think you’re foolin' Ronnie

Foolin' around with our lives

Makin' us kill our minds and souls

To keep our children alive

You keep on buildin' your superbombs

That’ll kill off half the Earth

Money is the reason that the world exists

For human life has no more worth

Now is the time to share the wealth,

Now is the time to help ourselves survive

Now is the time to share the wealth,

Now is the time to help ourselves survive

You better face it the bank don’t care

You’re a number in their eyes

All the smilin' faces on TV, are nothin' but hype and lies

The Arabs don’t have nothin to do with the prices that hit the sky

It’s because of the sacred cow, big business

And the man in the suit and tie

Now is the time to share the wealth,

Now is the time to help ourselves survive

Now is the time to share the wealth,

Now is the time to help ourselves survive

Tell me now Franklin, are you comin' to your senses

In the darkest of night

Four point five billion in the world as of this morning

We will double in our might

Livin' in a bar and grill

With false hopes in a magic pill

That’s takin' you out on your flight

Have you read your story in the paper this morning

You were not treated right

Not all of us want to be chairman of the board

Not all of us want to be kings

Most of us just want to live our lives

'Cause our love isn’t made of things

None of us are going to live forever

But our children have to go on

Make human life more precious than gold

And I’ll know that you heard this song

Now is the time to share the wealth,

Now is the time to help ourselves survive

Now is the time to share the wealth,

Now is the time to help ourselves survive

Now is the time to share the wealth,

Now is the time to help ourselves survive

Now is the time to share the wealth,

Now is the time to help ourselves survive

Now is the time to share the wealth,

Now is the time to help ourselves survive
