Joe,

I think you've got an important typo. I also think that one of the lines is slightly different than you have ... at least according to the recording by the composer on YouTube

The line "Consider how little of life that we know" clearly got stuck in the wrong place: it should be the first line of the fourth verse.

In the first two lines of the third verse I hear Robb sing slightly different words than you have. In the first, the tests are such that they cannot pass. That's why, in the second line, they fail. In addition, I don't think it's "I'll fail ya". None of the rest of the song is in the first person singular; I think this line stays in the third person as well: "A failure".

There's always the money for tests they can't pass
A failure for not being white middle-class

Finally, in the fourth verse, fourth line, Robb definitely sings "In need of the darkness, in need of the light". However, I feel it makes much more sense to sing "Afraid of the darkness, in need of the light", as do one or two of the OTHER people who sing it on YouTube. After all, there must be some reason for needing light: like being afraid of the dark.

More Than Enough
(Robb Johnson)

There's always the money for missiles and tanks
There's always the money for generals and banks
There's always the money for new ways to kill
But a limited budget for you if you're ill
Yes, there's always enough for a war
But there's never enough for the poor

There's always the money for tunnels and roads
For opera and ballet, but not jobs and homes
For MPs' expenses and fat subsidies
But there's never the money for more nurseries
And the well-off, they always take more
But there's never enough for the poor

There's always the money for tests they can't pass
A failure for not being white middle-class
There's always the goodies for those with most greed
But never enough for those in most need
There's a pay rise if you're on the board
But there's never enough for the poor

[Break]

Consider how little of life that we know
You bring nothing, take nothing, pass through, and go
We're all of us poor when it comes to the night
Afraid of the darkness, in need of the light
If we'd learn to want less and love more
There'd be enough for the poor

If we'd learn to want less and love more
There'd be enough for the poor
Cause there's more than enough for us all

Thanks for pointing out my mistakes. I corrected them in my post. Luckily, they turned out correct in print.
I'll stick with "tests they can pass," though - but there are still some inaccuracies I'm not comfortable with. I really tried hard to get all the lyrics right for the songbook, and I cringe every time I come across something I missed. It's a lot harder than I thought it would be. And when we relied on lyrics supplied by the songwriters, we got MORE inaccuracies.
