Who Wants To Be Paul

You can't legislate poor into freedom By legislating wealthy to pay What someone receives for not working Another must work for all day The government can't give away something Without taking it from some other guys You can't give to Peter without robbing Paul No matter how hard Congress tries And when half of the people are thinking They don't have to work to survive Because somebody else is out working And the government always provides Then the other half gets the idea That working's not worth it these days Because somebody else gets the paycheck And not working is really what pays And that my friend is where we are heading The end of the nation - that's all You can't multiply wealth by dividing And nobody wants to be Paul
