When will the rich wake up
Their Slumber torn asunder
Reveal the inner self
falseness hidden behind
expensive perfume
Cologne
fake ****
new nose
keeping up with Joneses
fancy cars
for fancy pants
have a cat and a dog too.
Hide behind the walls of their Castles
False beauty on the outside
Blackness seeps out from the inside
accumulate and devastate
their Mantra for the day

Wake up
See the poor and down trodden
no airs and no graces
no manicure
no pedicure
is easier to be real with you live in the gutter
th th-th-thank you the broken old man did stutter
When you look into his eyes the real man you do see
Cause there is no time for falseness or pretense

So Wake up
and help those in need
and find a few mouths to feed
but
****
this world is asleep
and dreams only of greed
