If the greedy were the starving If the masters were the slaves If the owners became the dogs How would they behave? 'Cause selling family heirlooms For one fifty or a pound Is like standing outside Burger King Selling horse and hound Cause sleeping in a doorway With a futon and a quilt Is like crying in the rubble Of a building that you built The day that you're not man enough Is the day you cease to be A wheel-barrow full of leaves From a rotten apple tree If the mugger was a woman And the man just passing by Would ya' ___ and bitch and slag it up You'd shrivel up and die If the landlord was the tennant And the hunter was the game If construction was constricted And capital just the same 'Cause sleeping in a doorway With a futon and a quilt Is like crying in the rubble Of a building that you built The day that you're not man enough Is the day you cease to be A wheel-barrow full of leaves From a rotten apple tree If the King was court jester And the jester took the throne He'd put the privileged on the streets And give the poor a home f the Irish were the English And the English still not free Would ya mick and pick And pad it up (?) You tongue the pip and agree Cause sleeping in a doorway With a futon and a quilt Is like crying in the rubble Of a building that you built The day that you're not man enough Is the day you cease to be A wheel-barrow full of leaves From a rotten apple tree
