A Little Share of Plenty - Ian Gillan

I haven’t got a job because they said

They couldn’t employ a no-good freak

I wanted a position at the top, no training and a two day week

I was born into this world and I’m entitled to the luxuries that I desire

I think I’ll go to Mars, it means soothen

If a form of life is higher

Lead me to the land of flood and hunger

Take me to the streets of dust and death

Teach me that a little share of plenty

Is better than a smaller share of less

I had to sell my car because I never arned enough

To pay the pric of fuel

Now I’m playing my guitar because you understand that I’ve got the blues

The country’s going bad because the government is mad

You know they just can’t see

Gonna lock myself away for years there’s nothing here for me

Lead me to the land of flood and hunger

Take me to the streets of dust and death

Teach me that a little share of plenty

Is better than a smaller share of less

Walking thru' the streets you know

I haven’t eaten nothin' for a week or two

I imagine that my belly’s gonna swell

Until I can’t see my shoes

But maybe I can make it if I see some food

I’ll take it as I’m passing by

If they catch me they can hang me

But at least I’ll know they ain’t justified

Lead me to the land of flood and hunger

Take me to the streets of dust and death

Teach me that a little share of plenty

Is better than a smaller share of less

Oh lead me to the land of flood and hunger

Take me to the streets of dust and death

Teach me that a little share of plenty

Is better than a smaller share of less

Lead me to the land of flood and hunger

Take me to the streets of dust and death

Teach me that a little share of plenty

Is better than a smaller share of less

Oh lead me to the land of flood and hunger

Take me to the streets of dust and death

Teach me that a little share of plenty oh

Is better than a smaller share of less
