Cake

Cake Verse Saw a baboon a smiling Perched on a gold throne. In one hand was a scepter, The other a stone. Had sycophants surround him Ready with advice. They all had an agenda And each had his price. Chorus The high, the mighty. They give and they take. While we’re eating bread They eat their cake. The high, the mighty They get the good breaks. While we raise the wheat. They eat their cake. Verse Saw him huffing and puffing Trying to look big. He was dining on pork chops While eating with pigs. Saw do gooders do nothing; At peace and content. They were happy so long as The king paid their rent. Chorus The high, the mighty. They give and they take. While we’re eating bread They eat their cake. The high, the mighty They get the good breaks. While we raise the wheat. They eat their cake. Verse We complain and we grumble But nothings gets done. The talking heads keep nodding We have empty guns. He’s arrogant he’s haughty We gave him his throne. He gave us his promise But we’re on our own. Chorus The high, the mighty. They give and they take. While we’re eating bread They eat their cake. The high, the mighty They get the good breaks. While we raise the wheat. They eat their cake.
