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

Written by：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[00:00:06]

While others were painting the town[00:00:10]

The public spirited boy[00:00:15]

Became a public spirited man[00:00:18]

So he worked very hard and he read everything[00:00:21]

Until he came up with a plan[00:00:25]

There'll be no exploitation[00:00:29]

Of the worker or his kin[00:00:31]

No discrimination 'cause of the color of your[00:00:34]

Skin[00:00:38]

No more private property[00:00:39]

It would not be allowed[00:00:41]

No one could rise too high[00:00:43]

No one could sink too low[00:00:46]

Or go under completely like some we all know[00:00:49]

If Marx were living today[00:00:54]

He'd be rolling around in his grave[00:00:56]

And if I had him here in my mansion on the hill[00:01:00]

I'd tell him a story would give his old heart[00:01:06]

A chill[00:01:09]

It's something that happened to me[00:01:10]

I'd say Karl I recently stumbled[00:01:15]

Into a new family[00:01:19]

With two little children in school[00:01:24]

Where all little children should be[00:01:28]

I went to the orientation[00:01:32]

All the young mommies were there[00:01:37]

Karl you never have seen such a glorious sight[00:01:44]

As these beautiful women arrayed for the night[00:01:49]

Just like countesses empresses movie stars and[00:01:53]

Queens[00:01:57]

And they'd come there with men much like me[00:01:59]

Froggish men unpleasant to see[00:02:03]

Were you to kiss one Karl[00:02:08]

Nary a prince would there be[00:02:11]

Oh Karl the world isn't fair[00:02:15]

It isn't and never will be[00:02:19]

They tried out your plan[00:02:23]

It brought misery instead[00:02:25]

If you'd seen how they worked it[00:02:27]

You'd be glad you were dead[00:02:29]

Just like I'm glad I'm living in the land of the[00:02:31]

Free[00:02:34]

Where the rich just get richer[00:02:35]

And the poor you don't ever have to see[00:02:37]

It would depress us Karl[00:02:41]

Because we care[00:02:44]

That the world still isn't fair[00:02:48]
