From the recording The Whole Charade
Written by Paul Walker & Karen Pfeiffer. A previously recorded song, revived & re-arranged by Paul & Karen. In a nutshell it states the message that "I'm not interested in your tax cuts & other incentives to make life better for those who already have plenty, use the money to make life better for the people who have nothing".
Lyrics
Life Of Plenty
(Paul Walker & Karen Pfeiffer)
I don’t want for money
Possessions I have many
Got food to feed an army
It’s barmy
Got shoes for every weather
The blues they get me never
My belly’s full believe me
It comes so easy
Chorus:
But in this life of plenty
Scrutiny reveals
A part of me that’s empty
And down at heel
Call it satisfaction
Or call it my reaction
To a life of milk & honey
It’s almost funny
Chorus:
‘Cause in this life of plenty
Scrutiny reveals
A part of me that’s empty
And down at heel
Bridge:
Why is this country crying?
Why is that young man dying?
For whom’s that family grieving?
Who’s is that heart that bleeding?
No I don’t want for money
I don’t want for money
Chorus:
‘Cause in this life of plenty
Scrutiny reveals
A part of me that’s empty
And down at heel
I don’t want for money
Possessions I have many
Got food to feed an army
I don’t want for money
I don’t want for money
