3 : 4/13/98 : The Many and the Few

The same old tired algebra
the have’s and the have-not’s
the lax and the enlightened
the hardened and the soft

the nature of the world it’s said
the many and the few
the many who don’t have enough
so few of us that do

Beggars on foot beggars on horseback
the quickened and the dead
the princes and the powerless
blind leaders, the blind led

The many and the few
the many and the few
so many do not have enough
so few of us that do

The many and the few
the me’s and all the you’s
the same old tired algebra
I guess it’s what we choose
