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
