Artist/Band: Tracy Chapman
Lyrics for Song: So
Lyrics for Album: Matters Of The Heart [1992]



So you make a little money

Off of somebody else's sweat

So some people starve a little

While you get fat

While you get fat



So you grind and grind

And you push and shove

And claim that those most worthy

Will get what they deserve

What they deserve



It can't be true

It can't be true

Because I've seen too many hungry faces

I've seen too many with the likes of you

It can't be true



For you everything has it's price

You give nothing away for free

If silence were truly golden

I guess no one could sleep

No one could sleep



You have money at your fingertips

People at your beck and call

And you're fool enough

To think for a price

You can have the whole wide world



For all our sake's

And all our lives

We must hope the words

That come from your lips

We must hope those words are lies



For all our sake's

And all our lives

We must hope the dreams

Soulless visions that you have

Are never realized



So

You've got a big house

And you drive a fancy car

So what if your pockets are full

If you have an empty heart



You snap your fingers

And all the waters part

So what if the people bow down

If they show you no regard



Your left hand

Always watches your right

So what if you trust in God

If you can't sleep at night



You think you've made it

You think you've got what everyone wants

So what if you're a big fat man

With an empty little heart



Who has made a little money

Off of somebody else's sweat

Who watched the people starve

While you got fat

While you got fat

You got fat

You got fat
