The Prince and the Paupers


Dragging, Lagging You don't seem to mind Hauling, Falling They're getting behind The well's run dry But what do you do? You spend and you lie About what they've gone through Dragging, Lagging Do you even care? Hauling, Falling No water to spare While you sit on your throne They fight to survive While your pockets have grown The well has run dry
