[Verse 1]
For every hundred mouths
There is one drop of bread
They make their maker sigh
And make them shout in vain
[Bridge]
But why should we
Control ourselves
Aquire and preen
[Chorus]
Why can't we be
Can't we just be
Poor and free
[Verse 2]
For every kingdom down
Another builds again
They make their maker sigh
And never wonder why
[Bridge 2]
But why should we
Distort ourselves
With what we need
[Chorus]
Why can't we be
Can't we just be
Poor and free
