Part of a fourteen minute long piece including ‘The Old King’s Lament’ and ‘Farewell To Reality’, the combined works touches loosely on the Biblical subject involving the rich man and the eye of a needle.
Give it all to the rich
Give it all to the poor
Give it all to the man who says he’s
coming back for more
Do it all for the bad
Do it all for the good
Do it all when the self same reasons
tell you that you should
Do it all to the rich
Do it all to the poor
Do it all to the man who says he’s
coming back for more
You know
I played
The game as best I could
(cheat)
We know
I gave
As fairly as I should
(lies)
Be it known when the beggar begged
I was always first to pay
No choice for a beggar and a beggar
I’m not
But I’m begging let me stay
Give it all to the rich
Give it all to the poor
Give it all to the man who says he’s
coming back for more
Do it all for the bad
Do it all for the good
Do it all when the self same reasons
tell you that you should
Do it all to the rich
Do it all to the poor
Do it all to the man who says he’s
coming back for more
