Words expressing the views of a beggar |
Without A Beggar's Oppinion As a beggar there's so much I can see For though I'm poor the streets belong to me So trust me if I say the king is wrong I'm not crazy I've watched him for so long He proclaims "T" the most generous guy The same man who spits when I say hi Takes credit for being my hero The truth; the world will never know Chorus: Why does it have to be this way? Why do I never have a say Even when it concerns my pay? Oh why Such a lie? Oh why-y-y-y? "T" is great; that's all they speak of him 'Cause, they say, he helps when hope is dim I don't care if they reward him all their gold They used my name; that's why I now uphold Look they say this man is my savior I can tell they don't know his behavior Now the world claps blindly for this choice I try to speak...they'll never hear my voice Chorus: Why does it have to be this way? Why do I never have a say Even when it concerns my pay? Oh why-y? The king can't see beyond the screens Of what occurs behing the scenes I see but have no means to speak Bridge: You shouldn't say a man is generous without a beggar's oppinion. You shouldn't give a man praises for something he did not do right Some people only want to be seen in the light For this they will step on those in the night |
