Who Pays
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
how do we finance our demonstrations
they say that we rob banks
their lies are spread across the nation
great! we never thought of that
how do we finance our demonstrations
to stop the neutron bomb
they say we're getting paid by the russians
well let's hope that they ain't wrong
how do we finance the cost of living
they say that we don't work
we take advantage of unemployment
well, we don't want their jobs
there's just one little question left
how come they have their bellies fat
how do they finance their demonstrations
how do they finance their atom-lobby
how do they finance their cost of living
how do they finance their yankee-dollars
