There was a distant time of yore
when rich meant fat and thin meant poor
but that doesn't figure anymore
The fat wear sports clothes every day
but this doesn't keep the lbs at bay
it's not our fault they always say
The thin are wealthiest now I guess
live on rocket and watercress
nothing more and nothing less
The poor seem resigned to benefits
buy huge tv's, get tatts on tits
and pitbulls rip their kids to bits
The rich stay smug behind strong gates
but moan about poor savings rates
posh pensioners all in dire straits
So life’s not always what it seems
fat, thin, rich, poor we all have dreams
but suffer from insomnia it seems
