So you make a litle money
off of [D]sombody elses sweat
so some [C]people starve a little
while [D] you got fat
Em . . . Em . DD Em . . .
while you got fat
Em . DD C
So you grind and grind
and you [D]push and shove
and [C]claim that those most worthy
will [D]get what they diserve
Em . . . Em . DD Em . . .
what they diserve...

Em . D D C
It can't be true
. .
It [D]can't [D]be [C]true
Be[D]cause [D]I've [Em]seen too many hungry [D]faces
I've [Em]seen too many with the [D]likes of you
C . . . C . DD C . . . C .DD Em . . . Em . DD Em . . .
it can't be true

Em . D D C
For you everything has its price
you give [D]nothing away for free
if [C]silence were truly golden
I [D]guess no one could sleep
Em . . . Em . DD Em . . .
no one could sleep

Em . D D C
You have money at your fingertips
people at your [D]beck and call
and you're [C]fool enough to think for a price
D Em . . . Em . DD Em . . .
You can have the whole wide world

Em . D D C
For all our sakes
. .
and [D]all [D]our [C]lives
. .
[D]We [D]must [Em]hope the words that
[D]come from your lips
we must [Em]hope those words are [D]lies
. .
for [D]all [D]our [C]sakes
. .
and [D]all [D]our [C]lives
. .
[D]we [D]must [Em]hope the dreams,
soulless [D]visiones that you have
[Em] are never rea[D]lized
[C] So you've got a big house
you [D]drive a fancy car
So [Em]what if your pockets are full
if [D]you have an empty heart
[C] You snap your fingers
and [D]all the waters part
So [Em]what if the people bow down
if they [D]show you no regard
[C] Your left hand
[D]always watshes your right
So [Em]what if you trust in God
if [D]you can't sleep at night
[C] You think you've made it
You think you've [D]got what everyone wants
So [Em]what if you're a big fat man
D (let ring)
with an empty little heart
. .
[D]Who [D]has [C] made a litle money
off of [D]somebody else's sweat
[C] Who watched the people starve
[D]while you got fat
Em . . . Em . DD
while you got fat
Em . . . Em . DD
you got fat
Em . . . Em . DD Em (let ring)
you got fat!!!
