Fields of Plenty

In my short time, I’ve heard it told
That a man that wins, is a mans that’s bold
First come first and the last leave empty
It’s all fair son in these Fields Of Plenty

In schools I’s as told don’t fall behind
And the dolls no place for any child of mine
And there’s room at the top and they promised us entry
A chance for a share in their Fields of Plenty

So debts we made and debts we paid
And the price they said was eight hours a day
And you’ll work it off son if you start in your twenties
And trade your years in these Fields Of Plenty

So cribs we bought and houses sold
And the debt bought credit and the credit bought the homes
But the work soon dried and the loans they ended
Well it’s winner takes all in these Fields Of Plenty

break:

So I saw to them all you know
And the way you’ll come is the way you’ll go
But I promise you this you won’t miss a penny
When your lying beneath your Fields Of Plenty

In my short time, I’ve heard it told
That a man that wins, is a mans that’s bold
First come first and the last leave empty
It’s all fair son in these Fields Of Plenty
