[INTRO: instrumental, no vocals] [VERSE 1] It’s my belief, That every man, Should do his share of work. And in our, Economic plan, No citizen should shirk. That in return, Each one should get, His meed of, Fold and food. And feel that all, His toil and sweat, Is for the common good. [SOLO: instrumental break, same mood] [VERSE 2] It’s my belief, That every chap, Should have, An equal start. And there should, Be no handicap, To hinder his depart. That there be. fairness in the fight, And justice in the race. N' every lad. Should have the right To win his, Proper place. [VERSE 3] It’s my belief, That people should, Be neither rich, Nor, poor. That none should, Suffer servitude, And all mankind, Should be secure That wealth is loot, Rank is rot, Foul is class. That blood runs bad, Bone deep, Generations wide. That to succeed, A man may not, Exploit his brother man He should not, Ought not, And must not in his soul, Nor want to... If he can. [BRIDGE] It’s my belief that wrong is wrong. And it's as simple as that. This includes usury, And heritage... A K A, Inherited wealth Unearned status And or, unfair advantages. So let's be crystal clear,, I'm NOT talkin' bout' Culture, Traditions, Or Reasonable People's Pride Just that each should, Win a worthy wage; And live a life that's long. With time enough to breathe it in, To rest, to grow, to roam. Enough to spark an honest song, That still feels like his own... Life, Liberty, Simple joys and happiness. [OUTRO] Not one like this, For though I rue the wrongs of it all. Alas... I look away. For I’m not prepared to do, A goddam thing about it... ...about it... ...about.... ...it... ....it... ....it.... [END: Vocals soften and instrumental dissolves into reverb]
