Of Nannies ‘n houses ‘n Pink Flamingos Cars ‘n clothes ‘n foreign lingoes The rich hate the poor, the poor hate the rich Did you see “Her” today? Boy, she sure is a ***** How did they get here, a chauffeur you say? ‘Cause Mom and Dad are Always away. They remembered her birthday Or so said the staff A party, a clown Just make her laugh The rich hate the poor and the poor hate the rich Did you see “Her” today? Boy, she sure is a ***** He stood on the corner outside a shack Schoolbooks in hand, his lunch in a sack He remembered his birthday Or so said his mom His dad wasn’t drunk Just tired ‘n run down. The bad hate the good and the good hate the bad Did you see “Them” today? Boy, they sure did look sad. All the dreams and the dollars Or missing of such Builds a foundation or makes us a crutch Better built on kindness, compassion and love Understanding that all are the same from above We all hurt the same deep in our heart Forgotten, abused, life plays its part Dressed up in spangles, bobbles or beads A yard full of flowers, garbage or weeds Under the crust is a person who bleeds The bad hate the good and the good hate the bad Did you see “Them” today? Boy, they sure did look sad.
