    Know anybody on Earth more than 10 times BETTER than you? NO? Then why should anybody have any more than 10 times the amount of access to resources as you (i.e. filthy rich!)
    CD: Freetomme From Freedom, Me   Label: Independently released

    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
