Why should the poor
Always play free
Why do the rich
Get lots of money

Why should the poor
Always play free
Why do the rich
Get lots of money

It's really a shame
It's really sad
The way anyone goes
For just any ol fad

Why should the poor
Always play free
Why do the rich
Get lots of money

You say it's wrong
To pay for a song
But you know if I was Jewel
Than it would be cool

Why should the poor
Always play free
Why do the rich
Get lots of money

Were fine the way we are
We need no more stars
We don't want anyone else
To get our wealth

Why should the poor
Always play free
Why do the rich
Get lots of money

You say it's wrong
For me to charge for a song
But if I was Jewel
Than it would be cool

Why should the poor
Always play free
Why do the rich
Get lots of money
