Lyrics

Poor people are poor people And they don't understand A man's gotta make whatever he wants And take it with his own hands Poor people stay poor people And they never see Someone's gotta win in the human race If it's not you then it has to be me So smile while you're makin' it Laugh while you're takin' it Even though you're fakin' it Nobody's gonna know Nobody's gonna know No use mumblin' It's no use grumblin' Life just isn't fair There's no easy days No easy ways Just get out there and do it And sing and sign a song Laugh while you're getting on Smile and ya string along Nobody's gonna know Nobody's gonna know Nobody's gonna know Nobody's gonna know We all want justice, but you gotta have the money to buy it You'd have to be a fool to close your eyes and deny it There's a lot of poor people who are walking the streets of my town Too blind to see that justice is used to do them right down All life, from beginning to end, you pay your monthly installments Next to health is wealth and only wealth will buy you justice There'll always be a fool who insists on taking his chances And that's a man who believes in true love romances He will trust and rely on the goodness of human nature Now a judge will tell you that's a pathetic creature All life, from beginning to end, you pay your monthly installments Next to health is wealth and only wealth will buy you justice Money, Justice Money, Justice Money, Justice Money, Justice
