                   Realism v. Idealism

Some people are stupidly rich, yes it's true
And some have got less than a quid,
And there's no real reason why this will change soon, but oh,
What we could do if it did!

There's nuclear weapons all over the place
Of which very few can be used,
But think how much better things would be without them
And it's hard not to be confused.

There's wars all around the world, terrorists too
And no sign of change on that score
But it would be so easy to lay down our arms,
We've no need for them any more.

There's God knows how much money tied up in sport
Though none of it needs to be there,
And I'll leave it to you to think what we could do
With all that, 'cos I don't think I dare...!
