Lyrics
You say the world is getting smaller and you’ve got no place to stand And the Law is getting taller and it’s shadows force your hand And you wanna make a difference but you’d rather have it made And you preach the sin of green while your pockets getting paid And you’re nodding in agreement when you hear the prophet speak And the words of equal measure you’re so eager to repeat But you don’t seek the answers I guess you already got um And all the trouble in the world, it ain’t your problem You say it’s such a shame all the families on the street And you hold your children close when you pass the place they sleep And you wanna give them something but you don’t have any cash Besides you know you pay your taxes, the city should clean up all this trash You’ve got deadlines and dues ya know the truth it ain’t that funny The kids need their tuition and you’re not made of money It’s a shame their at the ladder, it’s a shame they’re at the bottom But the weight that brings them down it ain’t your problem You said you’d live with nothing and you want to give it back You tried to walk like Ghandi, while the cloths upon your back Are made in third world sweatshops with synthetic golden thread But you’re opening your eyes with all the scriptures that you read Now you’re working 40 hours it’s too late to change your name You’re just trying to scrape by between the gears of the game And you’ve made a few donations, so they would not be forgotten And you’ve done the best you could, but it ain’t your problem
