                    The Silent Majority

The silent majority never speak out
(That's why they're referred to as such)
But I think that they may have to do so quite soon
'Cos the status quo's not up to much.

The silent majority don't like to carp
So they carry on 'making the best'
And they hold things together for everyone else
And they never complain like the rest.
                                                                                                                        The silent majority know that it's wrong
To live in extravagant wealth
While billions of people* continue to suffer
And live in the poorest of health.      
                                                                           
So the silent majority must take a hand
And say how they think things should be
So we can start looking ahead and not back
And fulfil our true destiny....
