Randy Newman - The World Isn't Fair Lyrics
When karl marx was a boyHe took a hard look aroundHe saw people were starving all over the placeWhile others were painting the townThe public spirited boyBecame a public spirited manSo he worked very hard and he read everythingUntil he came up with a planTherell be no exploitationOf the worker or his kinNo discrimination cause of the color of yourSkinNo more private propertyIt would not be allowedNo one could rise too highNo one could sink too lowOr go under completely like some we all knowIf marx were living todayHed be rolling around in his graveAnd if I had him here in my mansion on the hillId tell him a story twould give his old heartA chillIts something that happened to meId say, karl I recently stumbledInto a new familyWith two little children in schoolWhere all little children should beI went to the orientationAll the young mommies were thereKarl, you never have seen such a glorious sightAs these beautiful women arrayed for the nightJust like countesses, empresses, movie stars andQueensAnd theyd come there with men much like meFroggish men, unpleasant to seeWere you to kiss one, karlNary a prince would there beOh karl the world isnt fairIt isnt and never will beThey tried out your planIt brought misery insteadIf youd seen how they worked itYoud be glad you were deadJust like Im glad Im living in the land of theFreeWhere the rich just get richerAnd the poor you dont ever have to seeIt would depress us, karlBecause we careThat the world still isnt fair
