You didn't speak up enough
Now it's gonna be tough for us
You didn't wanna hear us say
Oh, we're gonna say it anyway
You don't know how it feels to be without
I don't care what they say
We know there's a better way
Mmm, read about generosity
It's been done in other countries
We struggle to make ends meet
Worry 'bout how we gonna eat
You don't know how it feels to be without
I just can't believe
We know there's a better way
There's a better way
Ooh, well
He couldn't pay his bill today
Where he worked
They cut his pay
They came and took his house away
Oh, this goes on every day
You don't know how it feels to be without
We do understand
We know there's a better way
Unemployment's risin'
Hard to make a dime
World's in need of money
Hope we'll all be fine
We know there's a better way
There's a better way
We know, we know
There's a better way
You know
I know
We know
You know
I know
We know
Now it's gonna be tough for us
