Pay Attention to the Kings
by JJ

Gaze upon the stars
Would you own them near and far
Are you really worth so much
Are you that far out of touch

Pay attention to the kings
The rich men who wisely take everything
Pay homage to the CEO
He’s worth two-hundred workers wage and still wants more
And if we don’t work for what he wants
he throws us out the door
And we give him all this power just to pay utilities

Gaze upon the stars
Would you own them near and far
Are you really worth so much
Are you that far out of touch

Give hours to the boss
Hustle your days away so that his check book shows no loss
Give service to the head
Clean his king sized bed
And wash the paperwork, keeps the ink stains off his base-pay sewn shirt
Will he thank you all for lifting him so high

Take your life from some men
Who can’t help but play your game though they can’t win
If anything’s a sin
It’s taking human lives for an economic sacrifice
And wasting them away with less and less vacation days
And just like that you’ll live, proud and free you didn’t give
You kept it all yourself; all your power and your wealth
But now you haven’t got your health, and just like them you’re gonna die

Gaze upon the stars
Would you own them near and far
Are you really worth so much
Are you that far out of touch
