Of Montreal

One is a child in the ghetto

One is a beggar in rags

One is a victim of circumstance

One is a queen dressed in black



All working hard for the dollar

Money to keep 'em alive

It's one big fight for survival

And I just cannot walk on by



One for all, all for one

Now won't you give 'em a dime?

One for all, all for one

A little drop of your wine?!!



One is a veteran soldier

One is a man of the cloth

Here come the sisters of mercy

Collecting all that you've got



With respect to your religion, man

Your culture and your skin

Just don't believe in your selfish gods

Share your wealth and stop the terror from within!



That's no way to go you know, yeah



You get greedy, you get fat

And when you die you just can't take it with you

Anyway, so, that's it brother



The poorman gets poorer!!!
