War on Poverty
(Bill King)
Look at that child’s dirty face
Nothing to scrub it clean –
there are powerful forces beyond our control
Bringing long term misery –
there’ll be people stuffed in shallow graves
Unless we start to see
The money men who’ve taken control
That steal from you and me
A War on Poverty
A knock down fight that would shed some light
On the current inequities
We want a War on Policy
A hard fought battle to bring back the middle
More jobs and parity
Food banks going empty
Thousands standing in line
While the man on the hill builds a palace of thrills
and watches our decline
Pockets deep with easy money
Stolen from the treasury
It’s a world of haves
A world of forgots
This was never meant to be
War on Poverty
A knock down fight that would shed some light
On the current inequities
We want a War on Policy
A hard fought battle to bring back the middle
More jobs and parity
Stop! Stop! We’ve got to call it now
It’s very plain to see
If left in the hands of the power elite
There will be hunger for eternity
I, am, somebody
Who rises with the morning sun
From dawn to dusk I do the work
Now they’ve chosen to run
War on Poverty
A knock down fight that would shed some light
On the current inequities
We want a War on Policy
A hard fought battle to bring back the middle
More jobs and parity
Shame, Shame, Shame on You
Don’t turn your back on me
Shame, Shame, Shame on You
Don’t turn your back on me
