Shawn Phillips - Share the Wealth lyrics

Phillips Who do you think you're foolin' Ronnie Foolin' around with our lives Makin' us k** our minds and souls To keep our children alive You keep on buildin' your superbombs That'll k** 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
