Tim Be Told

Tim Be Told - Wealth And Poverty lyrics

rate me

llow me to introduce you to some friends of mine

They have both kept me company at some point in time

One takes you captive, her comfort attractive

While the beggars sit and wait at her door

And with her you will always want more

Wealth, why do you exist and why are you so hard to resist?

We purchase, we pay; we hope it gets better

But hope is sold for the day

Wealth and poverty stay

Then there's Poverty she's hard to shake

'Cause till death do us part is the same as forever

She'll rob you dry, oh you should see her cry

When you find out you don't have anymore

She replies "that is why you are poor"

Poverty, should you exist? "Yes of course," the rich men insist

They'll give you a dollar and hope it gets better

But hope is sold for the day

Wealth and Poverty stay

Why does it have to be so separate and clean?

Abundance, destitution, no in-between

And why do we desperately cling to our extremes?

Mercy, do you exist? "Yes of course," the good men insist

But mercy is silent 'cause no one will let her give us hope for the day

Wealth and Poverty stay
