MARILYN'S VITAMINS LYRICS

"Bread And No Butter"

the goal's to get yours and everyone elses
even if the prey is innocent and helpless
get 'em out of here there's no room for the weak
the message is clear every time you speak

and if a family starves then you don't care
because you say they've got to earn their share
or is it that you don't know what to give
because that ain't a way you've had to live

can anyone tell me where empathy went
in a world where so many can't even make rent
so quick to turn from left to right
when it seems like the solutions in sight

you say your cutting all that you should
but you spend if it means the party looks good
you say "Joe Taxpayer's the victim"
but not everyone on welfare's cheating the system

there's nothing wrong with trying to boost the economy
but you refer to the poor as a fucking disease
it's all about bread and no butter
"All animals are equal, some more equal than others"
(G. Orwell)

but is the answer just to better yourself
wouldn't it be better if we could spread the wealth
get every family off the street
and allow a few more children to eat

what if the tables were turned
and you were the student
who couldn't afford to learn

what would you do then
with no help from your wealthy friends....
