[Verse 1]
        C          C/B       F            G
There’s always the money for missiles and tanks
        C          C/B       F            G
There’s always the money for generals and banks
        F          G       C          G
There’s always the money for new ways to kill
      C       G          F             G
But a limited budget for you if you’re ill
            C       G           F      G
Yes there’s always enough for a war
           C      G             C   C/B  F   G
So there’s never enough for the poor

There’s always the money for tunnels and roads
    C         C/B         F          G
For opera and ballet, but what about homes?
    F      G          C        G
For MPs’ expenses and fat subsidies
            C      G         F    G
But there’s never enough for nurseries
        C             G           F        G
And the well-off they always take more
           C      G             C   C/B  F   G
So there’s never enough for the poor
 
C    C/B  F    G
 
[Verse 3]
        C          C/B       F              G
There’s always the money for tests they can pass
   C            C/B       F            G
Or fail you for not being white middle class
        F          G           C               G
There’s always the goodies for those with most greed
    C      G         F             G
But never enough for those in most need
          C           G             F        G
There’s a pay-rise if you’re on the board,
           C      G             C    C/B  F   G
So there’s never enough for the poor

[Verse 4]
   C         C/B       F            G
Consider how little of life that we know
   C              C/B           F                G
We bring nothing, take nothing, pass through and go
      F         G            C            G
We’re all of us poor when it comes to the night
   C           G            F           G
In need of the darkness, in need of the light
      C               G             F      G
If we learned to want less and love more
C          G              C   C/B  F   G
There’d be enough for the poor
 
      C               G             F      G
If we learned to want less and love more
C          G              C   C/B  F   G
There’d be enough for the poor
            F          G            C
For there’s more than enough for us all
