Well, it seems the world is harder now

That it needs to be

"I'm all right, Jack screw the crowd"

Is how it feels to me

And the rich are self obsessing

Build their life around possessing

Shiny things they'll never need

Pointless stupid symbols of their greed

Of their greed



Now I'm not blind, I know it's rougher

That it needs to be

I point my finger, scream and shout

Much good it does me

And the wealthy ostracize us

Close their windows, just drive by us

Hold themselves in high esteem

And don't forget the mantra: Me! Me! Me!



Cos I don't care about anyone else

I just care about me

I don't give a damn about anybody else

I just care about me

Only me



So what happened to compassion?

When did fairness fail?

Greed's the be all and the end all?

That's the total tale?

I refuse to think that's all we are

All we've become

And I'll keep believing

One for all and all for one isn't quite done

And they go on
