The Ever-Widening Divide

(mmmmm-hmmmm) I see the glass towers

touching the sky

While down on the pavement,

another well runs dry

The gap is a canyon,

it's widening wide

And there's nowhere left

for a worker to hide

They count up their billions,

we count up the days

Caught in the gears of their

modern-day ways

So spare me the hunger

of chasing their gold

Let me keep my soul

before it gets sold

Take away the climbing,

just give me some peace

Begging for a life where the struggle can cease

(yeah,

just let it cease)

Every morning the headline

is just the same

More for the crown,

while we carry the shame

The rich get the harvest,

we're left with the stone

Just begging for bread

at the foot of the throne

So spare me the hunger

of chasing their gold

Let me keep my soul

before it gets sold

Take away the climbing,

just give me some peace

Begging for a life where the struggle can cease

(please let it cease)

Just a humble place

No more running this race (mmm-hmmm)
