CupOfTea Lyr Req: Alt. last verse 'They're Taking It Away' (7) RE: Lyr Req: Alt. last verse 'They're Taking It Away' 07 Jun 17


After thinking on it for myself, I Americanized some of the references "Wall Street" as suggested in "Rise Again" and thinking on all the current events that prompted me to NEED to sing this song, my last verse contribution is:

So if you've health and wealth and wisdom stop and spare a thought today
For those who don't and those who can't, there is no other way
For if we don't get out and vote to save the U. S. A.
There won't be a Constitution when they take it all away


Been singing this around, complete with the advisory that the chorus is a relentless ear worm.
