poor people / justice
Singer:mckay, nellie
poor people are poor people
and they don't understand
a man's gotta make whatever he wants
and take it with his own hands
and they never get to see
someone's gotta win in the human race
so smile while you're making it
laugh while you're taking it
even though you're faking it
just get out there and do it
and they'll sing your song
laugh while you're gettin' on
but you got to have to money to buy it
you'd have to be a fool to close your eyes and deny it
there's a lot of poor people who are walking the streets of my town
too blind to see that justice is used to do them right down
all life from beginning to end
you pay your monthly installments
and only wealth will buy you justice
there'll always be a fool who insists on taking his chances
and that is the man who believes in true love romances
he will trust and rely on the goodness of human nature
that's a pathetic creature
all life from beginning to end
you pay your monthly installments
and only wealth will buy you justice
