Can The Haves Use Their Brains - McCarthy

The haves, can they use their brains?

Or is there time to take enough

Keeping the have-nothings down?

Put yourself in their place

Would you be thinking clearly if you were them?

The fat cats say

They want what is best for everyone

What if is best for us

The fat cats are swept from the earth?

Put yourself in their place

Would you be thinking clearly if you were them?

Everything obvious they make unclear

What do two and two make?

The fat cats say

They want what is best for everyone

But what if is best for us

If they are all swept away for good?

Everything obvious they make unclear

What do two and two make?

Everything simple they complicate

What do two and two make?

The haves, can they use their brains?

Or are they only keeping the have-nots down?
