Jeff Simmons - If The Tables Of The World Were Turned Around lyrics

The horse that does the pullin gets the whippin And he gets paid off with mighty little hay And the man that does the workin takes a rakin While the man that sits around gets all the pay You read in the papers of a robber And you hear where they catch one now and then But the slickest and the shrewdest of all robbers Does his robbin with a pencil or a pen And that's one of the things that needs some changin It would turn this whole wide world upside down It would change all the realms of society If the tables of the world were turned around There are people in influential places And these people pull a lot of crooked strings Try to hold the workin man right on rock bottom While they buy their fancy cars and diamond rings Well I hope my little song does not offend you But if it does then there's one thing I know You can bet your shiny boots and bottom dollar You have never touched a shovel or a hoe And that's one of the things that needs some changin It would turn this wide whole world upside down It would change all the realms of society If the tables of the world were turned around If the tables of the world were turned around
