Don’t give me that line that wealth filters down
Just cause you say it doesn’t make it true
Don’t try to define for me what to think
I reject there’s always more room at the top
Chorus
What makes you think I want to get there
It is a different ladder I need to climb
I don’t need your room at the top
I want to live where real people live
Where real people live ....
It is a new future I want to see
Where we live and we love, care and express
What matters to me is my neighbour
I am only as rich as the poorest I see
Chorus
What makes you think I want to get there
It is a different ladder I need to climb
I don’t need your room at the top
I want to live where real people live
Where real people live ........
You wouldn’t understand it is bigger than you
Oh how the bottom line it grinds and it grates on me
You don’t speak the language but it is time that you see
You can live the lie but you can’t beat the truth
I don’t want your room at the top
It is a different ladder I need to climb
I don’t want your room at the top
Don’t sell me that line
I aint going to kick someone to get there
That would destroy my soul
I want to live where real people live . . . .
