There's a mighty big gap 'tween the rich and the poor
If the rich wasn't rich would the poor have more?
It's a mighty big gulf 'tween the have and the nots
How did the haves get what they got?
It's their balance, it's their scale
As to who will stand to take the rail
There's a mighty big gap 'tween the rich and the poor
The rich wasn't rich would the poor have more?
When will it end
This competition?
When will we mend
This disposition?
Why do some rise up and some stay down?
Why so many empty cups around?
There's still soft spots in everyone
Whispering away, "It can't be done"
There's no plan
Already in place
As to who will they aim
And who the I'll take
Be rich in the pocket and poor in the spirit
There's still soft spots you just can't hear
There's a rule of thumb we've all been taught
That the riches don't flow to the rich and the hot
There's a mighty big gap 'tween the rich and the poor
If the rich wasn't rich would the poor have more?
It's a mighty big gulf 'tween the have and the nots
How did the haves get what they got?
Well, the same rain's praised on everyone
Some greet the rain while the others run
The same sun shines on everyone
While the promised has more to come
Why do the some rise up and some stay down?
Why so many empty plates around?
There's a mighty big gap 'tween the rich and the poor
If the rich wasn't rich would the poor have more?
