How Much Is Enough?

Written by David Faraday


Verse 1

How much is enough?

How much do they need?
Do they think about the people,

Who fund their lavish lives?

How do they think that all of us survive?


Chorus

It’s corporate greed, there’s no need,

We made it up, but now we bleed,

Plant a seed of hope and bring this system down.
It’s corporate greed, there’s no need,

We made it up, but now we bleed,

If we grow the seed, the change may be profound.


Verse 2

How long is enough?

How long ‘til they heed?
Do they listen to the people,

Who deserve an equal share?

Do they think we even really care?


Chorus (see above)


Verse 3

How far can it go?

How unfair might it be?
Do they recognise the people,

Who simply want what’s right?

Do they double lock the penthouse door at night?


Verse 4

How much is enough?

How much do they have?
They’re not thinking of the people,

Who fund their lavish lives?

They don’t care, they simply ‘profitise’.


Final Chorus

It’s corporate greed, there’s no need,

We made it up, but now we bleed,

Plant a seed of hope and bring this system down.
It’s corporate greed, there’s no need,

We made it up, but now we bleed,

If we grow the seed, the change may be profound.

When we grow the seed, the change will be profound.

So let’s grow that seed, alternatives abound.
