The World Isnt Fair Lyrics by Randy Newman

The World Isnt Fair Lyrics

    when karl marx was a boy
    He took a hard look around
    He saw people were starving all over the place
    While others were painting the town
    The public spirited boy
    Became a public spirited man
    So he worked very hard and he read everything
    Until he came up with a plan

    There'll be no exploitation
    Of the worker or his kin
    No discrimination 'cause of the color of your
    Skin
    No more private property
    It would not be allowed
    No one could rise too high
    No one could sink too low
    Or go under completely like some we all know

    If marx were living today
    He'd be rolling around in his grave
    And if i had him here in my mansion on the hill
    I'd tell him a story t'would give his old heart
    A chill

    It's something that happened to me
    I'd say, karl i recently stumbled
    Into a new family
    With two little children in school
    Where all little children should be
    I went to the orientation
    All the young mommies were there
    Karl, you never have seen such a glorious sight
    As these beautiful women arrayed for the night
    Just like countesses, empresses, movie stars and
    Queens
    And they'd come there with men much like me
    Froggish men, unpleasant to see
    Were you to kiss one, karl
    Nary a prince would there be

    Oh karl the world isn't fair
    It isn't and never will be
    They tried out your plan
    It brought misery instead
    If you'd seen how they worked it
    You'd be glad you were dead
    Just like i'm glad i'm living in the land of the
    Free
    Where the rich just get richer
    And the poor you don't ever have to see
    It would depress us, karl
    Because we care
    That the world still isn't fair
