The World Isn't Fair - Randy Newman[00:00:00]

When Karl Marx was a boy[00:00:00]

He took a hard look around[00:00:03]

He saw people were starving all over the place[00:00:05]

While others were painting the town[00:00:09]

The public spirited boy[00:00:13]

Became a public spirited man[00:00:15]

So he worked very hard and he read everything[00:00:18]

Until he came up with a plan[00:00:22]

There'll be no exploitation[00:00:26]

Of the worker or his kin[00:00:29]

No discrimination 'cause of the color of your[00:00:31]

Skin[00:00:35]

No more private property[00:00:36]

It would not be allowed[00:00:39]

No one could rise too high[00:00:41]

No one could sink too low[00:00:43]

Or go under completely like some we all know[00:00:46]

If Marx were living today[00:00:51]

He'd be rolling around in his grave[00:00:53]

And if I had him here in my mansion on the hill[00:00:56]

I'd tell him a story t'would give his old heart[00:01:02]

A chill[00:01:05]

It's something that happened to me[00:01:06]

I'd say Karl I recently stumbled[00:01:10]

Into a new family[00:01:14]

With two little children in school[00:01:18]

Where all little children should be[00:01:22]

I went to the orientation[00:01:25]

All the young mommies were there[00:01:31]

Karl you never have seen such a glorious sight[00:01:37]

As these beautiful women arrayed for the night[00:01:42]

Just like countesses empresses movie stars and[00:01:46]

Queens[00:01:49]

And they'd come there with men much like me[00:01:51]

Froggish men unpleasant to see[00:01:55]

Were you to kiss one Karl[00:01:59]

Nary a prince would there be[00:02:02]

Oh Karl the world isn't fair[00:02:05]

It isn't and never will be[00:02:08]

They tried out your plan[00:02:12]

It brought misery instead[00:02:14]

If you'd seen how they worked it[00:02:16]

You'd be glad you were dead[00:02:18]

Just like I'm glad I'm living in the land of the[00:02:20]

Free[00:02:22]

Where the rich just get richer[00:02:23]

And the poor you don't ever have to see[00:02:25]

It would depress us Karl[00:02:29]

Because we care[00:02:31]

That the world still isn't fair[00:02:35]
