Well the men in the car firms and the men on the dockside
They're trying to tell us they don't get enough pay.
An' never a thought to help out his neighbour
When the ones who say nothing starve to death every day.
Well your chancellors and premiers an' men in high office
Sit down on their backsides as time drifts away.
With a once yearly budget and a speech in the commons
While the ones who say nothing starve to death every day
The business executives with eyes like pound note signs
Try to make themselves millionaires in a day.
Change t'automation to get more production
While the ones who say nothing starve to death every day.
What with bank raids, shoplifting and street corner robbers
The cops're out in full force. They make no delay
In catching a bandit or kids lifting apples
While the ones who say nothing starve to death every day.
The well spoken women who are from high society
Wear sparkling diamonds just so they can say
To their friends that they own the worlds largest ruby
While the ones who say nothing starve to death every day.
So if you own an oil mine or a fleet of Rolls Royces
Or if you scrimp and save to get by every day
Don't turn your back on the world all around you
Give a thought for the ones who starve to death every day.
