so some people starve a little

and claim that those most worthy

what they diserve...

Because I've seen too many hungry faces

you give nothing away for free

if silence were truly golden

I guess no one could sleep

We must hope the words that

come from your lips

D D C
and all our lives

D D Em
we must hope the dreams,
D
soulless visiones that you have
Em D
are never realized
C
So you've got a big house
D
you drive a fancy car
Em
So what if your pockets are full
D
if you have an empty heart
C
You snap your fingers
D
and all the waters part
Em
So what if the people bow down
D
if they show you no regard
C
Your left hand
D
always watshes your right
Em
So what if you trust in God
D
if you can't sleep at night
C
You think you've made it
D
You think you've got what everyone wants
Em
So what if you're a big fat man
D (let ring)
with an empty little heart
. .
D D C
Who has made a litle money
D
off of somebody else's sweat
C
Who watched the people starve
D
while you got fat
Em Em
. . . . DD
while you got fat
Em Em
. . . . DD
you got fat
Em Em Em
. . . . DD (let ring)
you got fat!!!
