I told you once, I told you twice
It doesn’t matter if you’re black or white
Young or old, your hopes are high or low
Times are hard wherever you go

You and me, we are the same
Running around in this crazy game
First round’s fine, the next is strange
We’re all waiting for our luck to change

What’s it going to take to get us there?
You can’t just show up
On a wing and a prayer

I know just what we need
More kindness, less greed
There’s plenty there to pass around
But very few trickles down

I hope you find at the end of the day
The will to go or the will to stay
But if you don’t it’ll be okay
Just keep on keepin’ on

What’s it going to take to get us there?
You can’t just show up
On a wing and a prayer

I know just what we need
More kindness, less greed
There’s plenty there to pass around
But very few trickles down

I told you once, I told you twice
I told you once, I told you twice
Very few trickles down
