Hall & Oates

Songwriter: Sara Allen Daryl Hall

If there's enough to go around why can't I get mine
If everybody knows they've been lied to (been lied to)
If everybody knows it, then why are they waiting
On a gas line (why are they waiting on a line)

I think it must be a test to weed the best from the rest
But whatever they are doing is driving us
Out of our minds
It drives us out of our minds
But we always take it 'cause

Who said the world was fair
Or that we should care (who said the world was fair)
What a way of thinking, yeah
Who said the world was fair
Or that we should care (who said the world was fair)

The sun is free enough (it's free enough)
It's shining there in the air, out of our reach
But if they can, they'll find a way (they'll find a way)
To make us pay for what we get
When we lay on the beach

I think it must be a test to weed the best from the rest
Whatever they are doing is driving us
Out of our minds
It drives us out of our minds
But we always take it 'cause

Who said the world was fair
Or that we should care (who said the world was fair)
What a way of thinking, yeah
Who said the world was fair
Or that we should care (who said the world was fair)

Who said the world was fair
Or that we should care (who said the world was fair)
Who said the world was fair
Or that we should care (who said the world was fair)
Who said the world was fair
Or that we should care (who said the world was fair)
Who said the world was fair
Or that we should care (who said the world was fair)
Who said the world was fair
Or that we should care (who said the world was fair)

I ain't gonna take it, no (We don't have to take it)
You ain't gonna take it, no (You don't have to take it)
I ain't gonna take it, yeah (I ain't gonna take it)
Who said, who said, who said

Hall & Oates released the first of their 18 albums in 1972 on Atlantic Records. They would go on to sell 13 million albums and 6 million singles primarily during the 70’s and 80’s when they recorded their most prolific and profound music. They blended rock, jazz, soul, and pop create a genre they titled rock and soul.

While their technical musicianship, innovative songwriting styles, and popular live performances were praised, they also had a fruitful partnership with their manager Tommy Mottola, who was helped Hall & Oates break into music videos before they were popular and made profitable financial deals by helping them get on the ground level of and corporate sponsorship of tours. Hall & Oates were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2014.
