The World Isn't Fair
Verse 1:
Dm Am Bb F C7 F
When Karl Marx were a boy, he took a hard look a-round;

He saw people were starving all over the place,
C7 Caug F
While others were painting the town.
Verse 2:

The public spirited boy, became a public spirited man.

So he worked very hard, and he read every-thing,
G7 C
Un-til he came up with a plan.
Bridge 1:
F A7 Dm Dm F7 Bdim7
There'll be no exploi-tation, of the worker or his kin.
Dm A7 Dm Bb E A7
No dis-crimi-nation, 'cos the colour of your skin.
Dm Bbdim7 Bdim7 Abdim7 Adim7 Gbdim7 C7
No more private proper-ty; it would not be allo-wed.
Db F
No one could rise too high, no once could sink too low,
F Bb G7 C
Or go under com-pletely, like some we all know.
Verse 3:
F Gm7 F F C7 F
If Marx were living to-day, he'd be rolling a-round in his grave.

And if I had him here, in my mansion on the hill,

I'd tell him a story; t'would give his old heart a chill.
G7 C
It's something that happened to me.
Break:
Ab B F Ab B F
I'd say, Karl I recently stumbled, into a new fami-ly.

With two little children in school, where all little children should be.
Ab B F Ab B F
I went to the orien-tation; all the young mommies were there.
Verse 4:
Dm Am Bb F/A
Karl, you never have seen such a glorious sight,
Dm Am/C Bb F
As these beautiful women, ar-rayed for the night.
Db Ab Bbm/F F/C
Just like Countesses, Empresses, movie stars and queens.
G7 C
And they'd come there with with men much like me;
F C Bb C
Froggish men, un-pleasant to see.

Were you to kiss one, Karl; merry a prince would there be.
Chorus 1:

See Karl, the world isn't fair; it isn't and never will be.
Gm7 F Bb F
They tried out your plan; it brought misery in-stead.
Gm7 F Bb F
If you'd seen how they worked it, you'd be glad you were dead.
Bb F Bb F
Just like I'm glad I'm living in the land of the free,
Bb F/C Bb A7 Dm
Where the rich just get richer, and the poor you don't ever have to see.

It would de-press us, Karl, because we care...

That the world, still isn't... fair.
