Lyrics
Charitable Trust
the money keeps flowing, all kinds of needs
for every single damned thing ever conceived
fine art, antiques, assorted dreams
run down buildings and celluloid reels
then why are millions weeping
thereÃ?Â?s no nutrition to smile
it makes me seethe it makes me frown
shame on me, is it upsetting now
oh charitable trust, endowed indeed
the money will grow while we sleep
hope work and reason is what we need
and for what is fair and much less greed
to care for flesh and blood people
a do no harm guy's what we need
it makes me feel it makes me cry
shame on you never asking why
nowÃ?Â?s the time to start, for in all our creeds
much work is done, all in GodÃ?Â?s speed
then why are millions weeping
how palatial need a building be
instead of back room deals, transparency
instead of funneling prosperity
killing ill with excessive fees
just a thousand rounds, feed a million mouths
just close your eyes make believe
will it Be Dr Dean
to change the law, change it now ....
