	Story Behind the Song I've gotten tired of seeing the rich get richer and the poor get more desperate, so I've written a blues song with one simple solution. Lyrics The people of this land have come to learn that not only are Some people better than others, but a few people are Hundreds or thousands of times better than most others At least, that’s if you look at how much money people make For every buck the sweeper makes the CEO makes 10 grand There ain’t no equity in this land. Maybe we outta make one simple rule: If the poorest have one then the richest have ten No more or no less need there ever be again Surely that’s one way to even the score The power of ten would be good for rich As well as for poor Are you poor people, it’s ‘cause they’ve made the rules so bad And do you feel crazy inside and that your mind is going mad ]If you’ve turned lazy do you feel inside That the way the system’s set up now No poor folk will ever find a way to thrive Have you ever known a place inside where there is hope And have you smelled the filthy riches stink so sweet they need reality for soap We need to find a way to spread the wealth ‘Cause if we don’t we’ll never find, we’ll never find a way for global health The best that most of us can do it to survive their evil ways And as they fatten up their pocket our hearts do long for better days When rain is falling everywhere its sad to see that desperate acts Are the only ray of sunshine in the air. I said When rain is falling everywhere, its sad to see that desperate acts Are the only ray of sunshine in the air
