The have-nots and the haves - Boff Whalley & Commoners Choir

1. You don't need charts, you don't need graphs,
To see the gap between the have-nots and the haves.
You don't need to measure in inches and feet
The gulf that separates the mansion from the street.

Some get bonuses to piss against the wall;
Some don't get anything at all.
You don't need charts, you don't need graphs,
To see the gap between the have-nots and the haves.

2. You don't need a sermon, you don't need a song,
To know that some folk get it all and some get none.
You don't need the papers or the 9 o'clock news
To know that some are born to win and some to lose.

Some get bonuses to piss against the wall;
Some don't get anything at all.
You don't need a sermon, you don't need a song,
To know that some folk get it all and some get none.

3. You don't need to count up all the profit and the loss,
To see the distance from the worker to the boss,
You don't need an Oxford education or your daddy's wealth
To know that some will care for all and some for self.

(Repeat) Some get bonuses to piss against the wall;
Some don't get anything at all.
You don't need an Oxford education or your daddy's wealth
To know that some will care for all and some for self.

for the nosy

Last verse on recording:
You don't need to read Marx
to know what's wrong
You don't need to read music, to sing a song
