haves and have nots

[substitute]

The rich say to the poor: Our wealth isn't as wonderful to have as you think; you're piggish and immature to desire it so; and we are to be congratulated and admired for having it.

And not just about money, either.

If it's true a rich man leads a sad life
That's what they say, from day to day
Then what do the poor do with their lives?
On judgment day, with nothin' to say?

I've been beat up, I've been thrown out
But I'm not down, Oh I'm not down
I've been shown up, but I've grown up
And I'm not down, Oh I'm not down

On my own I faced a gang of jeering
In strange streets
When my nerves were pumping out
I fought my fear in, I didn't run
I was not done
