People Don't Get What They Deserve

When I was a child I believed what they told me (every word) To each one shall come what each one shall earn And if I worked hard nobody could hold me (hold me) And cheaters will fail, that's what they all learned (cheaters never prosper) There is a man who is born with a fortune A hard days work he's never done (livin' on easy street) He lives from the sweat of other men's labor As he sips his champagne and lays in the sun Money don't follow sweat Money don't follow brains Money don't follow deeds of peace (People don't get what they deserve) x2 There is a man who lives like a saint He works from daybreak to late in the night He's never stolen, he's never been lazy (not a day in his life) To feed his children is always a fight (work work work) I try to do right by all of god's children I work very hard for all I could afford But I don't pretend for one single moment That what I get is my just reward Money don't follow sweat Money don't follow brains Money don't follow deeds of peace (People don't get what they deserve) x13
