Famines will be famines, banquets will be banquets

Some spend winter in a palace, some spend it in blankets.

Donʼt wag your fingers at them and turn to walk away

Donʼt shoot someone tomorrow that you can shoot today

Time to end the praying

Listen what theyʼre saying
A
Get up off our knees
         D                          Em
You can wag your finger ʼtill your angerʼs sore

Shake your head ʼtill it shakes no more
         D                          Em

Shake your head ʼtill it shakes no more

Paupers will be paupers, bankers will be bankers
 D               Em      A  G              D    Em  A   G
Some own pennies in a jar, some own oil tankers
      D                Em     A              G
What may sound like tomorrow could be ours today
        D                  Em              A              G
Thereʼs no more need for sorrow if we get off our knees to pray
