People Don't Get What They Deserve

Sharon Jones & The Dap Kings
Album : Give The People What They Want (Deluxe Ver.)

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
