They tell you not to worry

They say they're terribly sorry

But that's the way it has to be

For the likes of me

Just be good and know your station

Always look on the bright side

Keep your faith and keep your patience

Your reward is after you've died

So don't be told

Don't be consoled

Things are so bad

You can never make do

And there's always someone better off than you

They tell you that's your future

It's all down to human nature

Simply settle for what you got

That's destiny and that's your lot

All of us cannot come first

Yes what you have is second best

But it might be a good deal worse

Third world peasants get even less

So don't be told

Don't be consoled

Things are so bad

You can never make do

And there's always someone better off than you

Do you care that it's not fair

Is this the way we have to live

I know I care and I want an equal share

Even if it means I have to give

Come on

The people who are on top

Say that you should keep your chin up

And they are keen to show you

The unhappy ones below you

But I want no more of that stuff

That's looking at it upside down

And the world has got money enough

For us to make it go around

So don't be told

Don't be consoled

Don't be ruled

Don't be fooled

Because things are so bad you can never make do

And there's always someone better off than you
