 Step right up and have a taste
of human misery,
see how stupid man has been
throughout history.
Eager to appease
an appetite for greed
he gathers what he wants
instead of what he needs.
The rich man fills his pockets
with silver and with gold,
then finds that his burden
is more than he can hold.
Sinking in the sands of time
with his heavy load
the cost for all his riches-
his wretched little soul.
The dawning of a new day
brings with it hope and light
the rich have turned to paupers
as mornings turn to night.
The workers of the world unite
with dignity they stand
and watch the useless treasure
as it sinks into the sand.
