SONGS:

Making Poverty History

Tune:  Clementine.

We need housing, we need daycare
And a job that pays the cost
Let us end the need for food banks
Respect those who have been tossed.

Close the gap, it's getting wider
'Tween the rich folks and the not
No one should be an outsider
Raise the basic that we've got.

What a shame that in a country
That is rich as we are now
There are people who are hungry
Who can't make it anyhow.

Making poverty hist'ry
Is the way that we must go
How to do it's not a myst'ry
Let's get started, here we go!

 

Flaw in the System
(Tune: There's a Hole in the Bucket)

There’s a flaw in the system when a country is wealthy
And kid go to food banks
Just so they can eat.

It’s a lopsided system when rich folks get richer
And those at the bottom
Must live on the street.

On minimum wages it’s  pretty outrageous
That cold,leaky housing
Is where some  must sleep

There’s a flaw in the system and we’ve gotta fix it
 If Poverty’s sown
Trouble’s what we will reap.

There’s a flaw we can fix  it if  we really want to
Make poverty Histry
Wake up and take heed.
