When Karl |
|
Marx was a boy he took a hard look around |
|
He saw people were starving all over the place while others were painting the town |
|
The public spirited boy became a public spirited man |
|
So he worked very hard and he read everything until he came up with a plan |
|
There'll be no exploitation of the worker or his kin |
|
No discrimination 'cause of the color of your skin |
|
No more private property |
|
It would not be allowed |
|
No one could rise too high |
|
No one could sink too low or go under completely like some we all know |
|
If Marx were living today he'd be rolling around in his grave |
|
And if I had him here in my mansion on the hill |
|
I'd tell him a story t'would give his old heart a chill |
|
It's something that happened to me |
|
I'd say, Karl |
|
I recently stumbled into a new family with two little children in school where all little children should be |
|
I went to the orientation |
|
All the young mommies were there |
|
Karl, you never have seen such a glorious sight as these beautiful women arrayed for the night just like countesses, empresses, movie stars and queens |
|
And they'd come there with men much like me |
|
Froggish men, unpleasant to see |
|
Were you to kiss one, |
|
Karl Nary a prince would there be |
|
Oh Karl the world isn't fair |
|
It isn't and never will be |
|
They tried out your plan |
|
It brought misery instead |
|
If you'd seen how they worked it you'd be glad you were dead just like |
|
I'm glad I'm living in the land of the free where the rich just get richer and the poor you don't ever have to see |
|
It would depress us, |
|
Karl Because we care that the world still isn't fair |
