Pretty Simple

it’s pretty simple

you got enough wealth
to spread it around
so everybody swims
and nobody drowns

it’s pretty simple

you take the landlord’s power
and you whittle it down
put people in houses 
all over town

it’s pretty simple

find the hungry families
give ’em a meal
doctors
so the people can heal

and it’s not just me
and it’s not just you
its all of us

it’s pretty simple

take the stolen money out
from under their thumb
give it back to the people
who they stole it from

it’s pretty simple

cut the military budget 
till it’s almost gone
put the money in schools
and you can’t go wrong

we’ve been doin’ it wrong
all along the line
gotta do it
right this time

and it’s not just me
and it’s not just you
its all of us

we are greater than they 
allow us to believe
we are genius
we are history to be
and they
they may think that their money
is the key
but we
we know the key is in the numbers 
of our solidarity
yes it is

it’s pretty simple

you can’t do it alone
don’t even try
you got to
organize

it’s pretty simple

you’re dreamin’ a dream
and you’re makin’ it real
everybody’s got a shoulder
they can put to the wheel

it’s pretty simple

it’s a victory
and it’s almost won
and you’re doin’ what they told you
couldn’t be done
