[Verse 1:]
If everybody were poor we would all be rich
If everybody up on this Earth were poor we would all be rich
If I had no work I would enjoy life
I would put my family first
I would spend some time with my baby
I would love them more and more
If I was poor I'd cut down trees to build my roof
I'd hunt in the forest
Get my fish from the ocean
Yeah, and we would live like the king and the queen
And we would have a little princess or prince
We would never have felt more free
[Chorus:]
People, people will always be people to me
Yeah, people, people will always be people to me
Yeah, we do wrong, we do right
Yeah, we do wrong and we do right
Yeah, we do wrong and do right
Cause people will always be people to me
[Verse 2:]
Here comes another Friday (Friday)
I haven't had work in weeks
I just wanna make a living (living)
And I promise I wouldn't need the sleep
If I could work everyday, work everyday, work everyday
Oh no, work everyday, work everyday, work everyday
I, I'd even work at night
I'd never take a day off rest of my life
I would send the kids to school, make sure they're alright
And make sure they're better than I, better than
[Chorus]
[Interlude]
[Chorus]
