Equality

I used to know
It was a shame, a kind of blow
When you had no car
When you had no home

And thank you all
For making misery not a shame
Thank you for empty pockets
And thank you too, we’re all the same

Thank you for making poverty no shame
For showing us we’re all the same
No gold, no silver, nothing to claim
We’re equal now, it’s your great game

No shiny roofs, no lavish plates
No climbing ladders, no twisting fates
We share the hunger, the dirt, the pain
Thanks to you, equality reigns

Thank you for making poverty no shame
For showing us we’re all the same
No gold, no silver, nothing to claim
We’re equal now, it’s your great game

So here’s to sameness, cheers to all
No one rises, no one falls
In the land of equal, wide and free
Thank you, rulers, for equality
