My neighbor is so rich
he has a new Mercedes
He has a pretty wife
A big house
he is lazy
why should he have so much
when others cannot eat
it seems quite unjust to me
people sleeping in the street
I want to take it back from him
spread it all around
make him work for all of us
he shouldn't have so much
My brother is so poor
he can't afford a car
lives in a rundown tenement
his lady is a whore
why should he have so little
when my neighbor has so much
why should my brother slave away
for wealth he'll never touch
Take the wealth
away from the rich
spread it round
cause life can be a bitch
make all mankind
share each other's gain
and if you don't agree with me
your'e selfish and insane
what you gather your whole life
you can't take past the grave
work for the good of all mankind
become a grateful slave
high hoe
high hoe
it's off to work you go
to make your brother richer
and you will learn to love his ways
although they won't make you richer
it's not about how much you have
it's about how much you give
so dedicate your lives to us
if you want to live
well tax you then well axe you
you really have no voice
just do as we gentle folk say
you really have no choice
do as the gentle folk say
for they are young and smart
make them happy with your wealth
pay your equal part
you really shouldn't really have it all
when your brothers cannot eat
you should live in castle
with people in the street....
the day of reckoning is here
well take back what you stole
cling to your Bible and your guns
well put you in your hole
we are the young
we are the wise
the future of the world
we're here to spread the love around
Justice's blind unfurls
do as the gentle folk say
for they are young and wise
make them happy
spread the wealth
there is no compromise!
