[Chorus]
What are we gonna do about the rich?
What are we gonna do about the rich?
What are we gonna do about the rich?
Come on, well come on!
[Verse 1]
They say democracy would be very bad for business
While deploring student protests in the middle of Hong Kong
They insist the people have to work until you have contracts everywhere
So [?] grow and shares are very strong
But one group that they never take to task
And one question that they never seem to ask
Is
[Chorus]
What are we gonna do about the rich?
What are we gonna do about the rich?
What are we gonna do about the rich?
Come on, well come on!
[Verse 2]
They're buyin’ football clubs today with absolute impunity
And so much of the media to give themselves the power
To destroy the very notion and the feeling of community
While poisoning the public discourse hour by hour
[?] it never seems to make it into answers
The question at some point must still be answered
Oh
[Chorus]
What are we gonna do about the rich?
What are we gonna do about the rich?
What are we gonna do about the rich?
Come on, well come on!
What are we gonna do about the rich?
What are we gonna do about the rich?
What are we gonna do about the rich?
Come on, well come on!
[Bridge]
They're avoiding paying taxes
While the welfare state collapses
Their extravagance and arrogance
Their lack of checks to balance this
Their lawyers and their attitude
The scale of their ingratitude
They only give to charity
For maximum publicity
[Chorus]
What are we gonna do about the rich?
What are we gonna do about the rich?
What are we gonna do about the rich?
Come on, well come on!
What are we gonna do about the rich?
What are we gonna do about the rich?
What are we gonna do about the rich?
Come on, well come on!
