lyrics

(The Proletariat, Lyrics by Richard Brown)

Believe me it’s not envy
Or petty jealousy
That makes me despise the lifestyle
Of decadence and wealth

It’s true they may be sheltered
And may have never seen
The streets of the inner city
Or rural poverty

In the marketplace

The myth of Horatio Algiers
Can still be found in books
And is taken as the gospel
By the fortunate few

If I had a prayer
I’d pray for a chance
And if I had a chance
I’d hope for a change
In the marketplace

If I had a prayer
I’d pray for a voice
And if I had a voice
I’d ask for a change
In the marketplace
