"For The Rich Man" lyrics

For The Rich Man

Run in the night
Hide in the shadows
Make a new life
Escape from the battle
Is it justice they seek
That we all take for granted
A fair shape
In a world so slanted towards the rich man

From the jungles and the towns
South of the border
Treated like dogs
In the name of law and order
Their prayers ever heard
Is their pain ever felt
No answers to be found
Is there anyone around except the rich man

Oh my loved ones
Don't be cheated
Take your children
Don't be defeated
All alone
In a world so strange
So much to lose
So much to gain

Children are hungry
Their leaders are blind
Color of money
Makes a man find
The way to exist
In a world gone crazy
A way to survive
In the battle he wages with the rich man

Oh my loved ones
Don't be cheated
Take your children
Don't be defeated
All alone
In a world so strange
So much to lose
So much to gain

Oh my loved ones
Don't be cheated
Take your children
Don't be defeated
All alone
In a world so strange
So much to lose, so much
So much to lose, so much
So much to lose
So much to gain
