Man Can Not Live By Bread Alone

Man can not live by bread alone 

How much long 
Does it take a man 
To be educated 
Beyond it Tommy 

How much longer 
Will it take to change 
A fool who chose 
Destruction in exchange
Of self satisfaction 


How much more longer 
Will it take the hopelessness
To be turn to hopefulness 
In the third world nations
Like Nigeria

I wonder how many 
Bread can stop the hunger 
Of a greedy man 

I wonder how money
Can satisfy their greed

I know it numbers 
Must be endlessly 
So is the prove 
That the stability 
Of humanity can't be born 
From such a man cos 

Man can not live by bread alone
