《The World Isn’t Fair(Live)》歌词

[00:00:00] The World Isn't Fair - Randy Newman

[00:00:00] When Karl Marx was a boy

[00:00:03] He took a hard look around

[00:00:05] He saw people were starving all over the place

[00:00:09] While others were painting the town

[00:00:13] The public spirited boy

[00:00:15] Became a public spirited man

[00:00:18] So he worked very hard and he read everything

[00:00:22] Until he came up with a plan

[00:00:26] There'll be no exploitation

[00:00:29] Of the worker or his kin

[00:00:31] No discrimination 'cause of the color of your

[00:00:35] Skin

[00:00:36] No more private property

[00:00:39] It would not be allowed

[00:00:41] No one could rise too high

[00:00:43] No one could sink too low

[00:00:46] Or go under completely like some we all know

[00:00:51] If Marx were living today

[00:00:53] He'd be rolling around in his grave

[00:00:56] And if I had him here in my mansion on the hill

[00:01:02] I'd tell him a story t'would give his old heart

[00:01:05] A chill

[00:01:06] It's something that happened to me

[00:01:10] I'd say Karl I recently stumbled

[00:01:14] Into a new family

[00:01:18] With two little children in school

[00:01:22] Where all little children should be

[00:01:25] I went to the orientation

[00:01:31] All the young mommies were there

[00:01:37] Karl you never have seen such a glorious sight

[00:01:42] As these beautiful women arrayed for the night

[00:01:46] Just like countesses empresses movie stars and

[00:01:49] Queens

[00:01:51] And they'd come there with men much like me

[00:01:55] Froggish men unpleasant to see

[00:01:59] Were you to kiss one Karl

[00:02:02] Nary a prince would there be

[00:02:05] Oh Karl the world isn't fair

[00:02:08] It isn't and never will be

[00:02:12] They tried out your plan

[00:02:14] It brought misery instead

[00:02:16] If you'd seen how they worked it

[00:02:18] You'd be glad you were dead

[00:02:20] Just like I'm glad I'm living in the land of the

[00:02:22] Free

[00:02:23] Where the rich just get richer

[00:02:25] And the poor you don't ever have to see

[00:02:29] It would depress us Karl

[00:02:31] Because we care

[00:02:35] That the world still isn't fair
