《The World Isn’t Fair》歌词

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

[00:00:00] Written by：Randy Newman

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

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

[00:00:06] He saw people were starving all over the place

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

[00:00:15] The public spirited boy

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

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

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

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

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

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

[00:00:38] Skin

[00:00:39] No more private property

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[00:01:09] A chill

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

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

[00:01:19] Into a new family

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[00:01:57] Queens

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[00:02:25] It brought misery instead

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

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

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

[00:02:34] Free

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

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

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

[00:02:44] Because we care

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