when you have nothing

when you have nothing

you've nothing left to loose

so you riot and revolt

do things we disapprove

but when you have nothing


you've nothing left to loose



when the banks are greedy

and take more every day

and the success is measured

by the excesses of the CEO pay

then the banks are greedy

and take more and more each day



when the soil is spent

as dry and blowing dust

we hope the farmers will look after it

their expertise we trust

and then the soil gets spent

and blows away like dust



the food that you relied on

from countries so poor

you demand more food

or you'll go to war

there'll be no food to rely on

from war torn countries that are poor



then you will have nothing

and have nothing left to loose
