lyrics

Feed the Pope

Feed the poor and starve the stars
Take all their money and crush all their cars
And if you hear them starting to moan
Oh please take pity and throw them a bono
please take pity and give them a (second) home

Feed the poor, starve princes and kings
Remove them from power and clip their wings
And if you should notice them missing their take
Oh please take pity and give them some cake
Oh please take pity and hand them a rake

Feed the poor and starve the Pope
Lock up his churches and strip him of hope
And if you should hear him starting to pray
Oh please take pity and bless him today
Oh please take pity, please God make him pay

Feed the poor and starve the poor
If they get fat we won’t like em no more
And if they should ask what the hells going on
Oh please take pity and let them belong
Oh please take pity, or write them a song

I’m always interested in people sending me stuff to work with. Contact me ... more
