You wanna know the worth of a human life?
Well there’s about eight billion people on this earth
That mother nature gaveth birth
So you may think you’re at least worth one eight billionth
But apparently you’re not
Cuz we got
At least three fucking thousand that each think they are worth billions
Each!

Preach
Oh preach
And pray O’ lord
For the extermination of the leech
Grab your enemies close
Stab them in the peach
Backside
Not rack side
Nor the side with the hose
Because the one that holds the hose
Is José
Tending to the garden of a millionaire
For just enough to buy bus fare
Now oh now does that sound fair?
I think not

So I’ve just gone and weighed it up
Atop the scales sits José’s human worth
It depends on his willingness to be paid peanuts
Else he wouldn’t be there in the first place
One thirty two billionth of the total pool
Marked down by half because of the colour of his skin
Marked down again because of his next of kin
Even though José hardly ever commits a sin
But this is just the system in action

Because a millionaire
Will not share
With you
With me
With anybody

A billionaire
Does not care
‘Bout you
‘Bout me
‘Bout anybody
Other than themself
