They tell you not to worry, they say they're terribly sorry But that's the way it has to be, for the likes of you and me Just be good and know your station Always look on the bright side Keep you faith and keep your patience Your reward is after you've died
So don't be told, don't be consoled Things are so bad, you can never make do And there's always someone better off than you
They tell you that's your future, it's all down to human nature Simply settle for what you got, that's destiny and that's your lot All of us cannot come first, yes what you have is second best But it might be a good deal worse Third world peasants get even less
Do you care that it's not fair? Is this the way we have to live? I know I care, and I want an equal share Even if it mean I have to give
The people who are on top Say that you should keep your chin up and They are keen to show you, the unhappy ones below you But I want to more of that stuff, that's looking at it upside down And the world has got money enough for us to make it go around so
Don't be told, don't be consoled Don't be ruled and don't be fooled Because things are so bad you can never make do And there's always someone better off than youTeksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
