WE CAN´T AFFORD THE RICH

Once, there was a friend of mine and, we were close, close as friends can be

He asked me. What will happen if democracy fails?

Will there be an open door to autocracy?

He said, we can´t go on like we do today, letting oligarchs to be unleashed

With their logging, poaching, drilling up oil, poisoning soil,

- profit no matter what, no matter what

He said, we can´t afford the rich

No, no we can´t afford the rich

And I said, across the world inequalities widen, the wealth, of the rich, has soared

Something strange is going on when that 1% allows, to siphon

On wealth, produced by others, through the control of property and money

And those greedy rich on the shoulders of us all

Those sons of bitches, always asks for more, claiming more,

I agree, we can´t afford the rich

No, no we cant afford the rich

I tried so hard to find a way

But all alone, I know it´s hard to make a change

The things we do for love, you said

Remember there is always light, if we´re brave enough to see it

Brave enough to be it

Now, imagine our place in the Universe, a Pale Blue Dot, orbiting the Sun

And that, little Dot is here, that´s our home, that´s us

And we can live and prosper on all she can give

Respecting planetary boundaries

With so-li-darity, this old world

will still remain, the same

That´s why, we cant afford the rich

No, no we can´t afford the rich

We can´t afford the rich

No, no we can´t afford the rich
