Me and 3 Billion Others

lyrics

Me And 3 Million Others © 2014 Chuck LeMonds

I got a money problem
It just can’t make it flow
The world outside demands a lot more
But I’ve given out all my dough

I never needed very much
Just the sweet necessities
Now there’s not enough cash to go around
And it just don’t grow on trees.

There seems to be a shortage
At each and every turn
One hand takes, the other hand gives
Like a hot coal that burns

Who’s got all the money
Can someone tell me please
When someone comes a knocking
And someone starts to squeeze.

Refrain:

I’ve read all the latest books
About how to make money
The problem starts with me
And ends with 3 billion others
Western dreams of affluence,
for every woman, child and man
if you just work harder
and follow our economic plan.
1st verse

I just want to make music at night
Watch the sun come up through the trees
And show my daughter all the goodness
That God gave us for free.

They’ll share all their secrets
And change your world for good
The World Bank will give you credit
For all your petroleum use
All the worlds natural beauty
They’ll soon have itemized
Don’t take it personally
There’s no reason to cry.
