How much money does a man need to live
To carry on breathing, to still want to give?
How much money can a man really spend
And still be enjoying, to gain in the end?
How much time does a man have to use
To earn for his family, to buy them new shoes?
How much time does a man have to waste
Proving his worth in another man's way?
Chorus:
Oh not much money
But oh so much time
No, not very much money
But oh so much time
Middle Eight:
We work hard every day to improve things for them
They discard what we say, will we bother again?
How much soul can a man have destroyed?
And carry on giving and conflict avoid
How much heart does a man need to say
To dare to be different, to go his own way?
And how much money will his own way cost?
The support of his brothers if he's not to be lost
And how much time will his own way take?
If he's not to faulter, if his heart's not to break
Repeat Chorus & Middle Eight
Repeat Verse as Instrumental
Repeat Chorus x 2
A poem put to music, in the questioning style of 'Blowing In The Wind'. Very much from the perspective of the poorer majority who do everything for the wealthy minority
It's time that is the true valuable commodity, and it takes time each lifetime to realise it!
