The World Isnt Fair

...THE WORLD ISN’T FAIR... by Randy Newman --------------------------................ *from ’Bad Love’ (1999)* Verse 1:                                          When Karl Marx were boy he took hard look -round; He saw people were starving all over the place       C7          Caug         F While others were painting the town. Verse 2: The public spirited boy became a public spirited man. So he worked very hard and he read every-thing Un-til he came up with a plan. Bridge 1: There’ll be no exploi-tation of the worker or his kin. No dis-crimi-nation ’cos the colour of your skin. Dm       Bbdim7  Bdim7  Abdim7 Adim7     Gbdim7  C7  No more private proper-ty; it would not be allo-wed. No one could rise too high no once could sink too low Or go under com-pletely like some we all know. Verse 3: If Marx were living to-day he’d be rolling a-round in his grave. And if I had him here in my mansion on the hill                                              / I’ tell him story; t’would give his old heart chill. It’s something that happened to me. Break:                                                      I’d say Karl I recently stumbled into a new fami-ly. With two little children in school where all little children should be. I went to the orien-tation; all the young mommies were there. Verse 4:                                                    Karl you never have seen such a glorious sight As these beautiful women ar-rayed for the night. Just like Countesses Empresses movie stars and queens. And they’d come there with with men much like me; Froggish men un-pleasant to see. Were you to kiss one Karl; merry a prince would there be. Chorus 1:                                                   See Karl the world isn’t fair; it isn’t and never will be. They tried out your plan; it brought misery in-stead. If you’d seen how they worked it you’d be glad you were dead. Just like I’m glad I’m living in the land of the free Where the rich just get richer and the poor you don’t ever have to see.             Gdim                       F/C     It would de-press us Karl because we care...          Fdim         C7       F That the world still isn’t... fair.
