Wealth & Poverty
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.
[verse 1]
Allow 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
[verse 2]
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
[bridge]
Why does it have to be so separate and clean?
Abundance, destitution no in between
And why do we desperately cling to our extremes?
[final]
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
