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
