Overnight Billionaire's
overnight billionaires
our money is missing
our pockets are empty
our labours are so cheap
our doctors can't even
attend to us any more
no medicine no money
our schools are closed
our streets are dirty
our dreams are dieing
just for politicians
acts of greed
overnight billionaires
our shadow can speak
but now it muted
if not it will never exist
our loyalty is a necessity
if not we will be far gone
our quest don't count
and if it should then there
is a force
the young don't grow
the old are leaving us
with out no benefit
our teachers are
so poor
all this exist just
because some men
were too too ambitious
with out a heart
overnight billionaires
poverty every were
hardship all over the towns
in our third world's
confusion in our homes
confusion in our hearts
hopelessness now a trend
disappointment is our reward
after all our trust and support
we are only but just numbers
they got no sight for us
either do they include us
in their vision
so there mission are clear
and obvious
guess why suddenly
in our grievous deepest
moment they sims
too satisfied as they turn
overnight billionaires
overnight billionaires
they are rich
we are poor
they are corrupt
we are the victims
they are evil
we pay the price
they are never satisfied
we are their extortion
they are not for us
we are not for them
our country is their
privileges to steal
we are there chance
of an ill gotten wealth
is obvious there is
no other way
if not for the sake
of our suffering
how come Suddenly
they turn
overnight billionaires
