A few very minor corrections to NightWing's lyrics (which I've put in caps.
More Than Enough (Robb Johnson)
There's always the money for missiles and tanks LIKE 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
AND 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 [MORE isn't there] 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 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 THE little of life that we know WE bring nothing, take nothing, pass through, and go We're all of us poor when it comes to the night IN NEED [already noted by NW] 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
