Chorus/Refrain:



Tell it like it is, Bob give it to us straight!

Why are so many hungry – is it really just their fate?

You say you’re a pragmatist doing what you can –

We’re sure that you mean well, Bob, you busy Boomtown man!

We’re sure that you mean well, Bob, you busy Boomtown man!



Tell us the cause of hunger – is it just the drought out there?

Or is there much more to it Bob – like politics and War?

Things that needn’t be, Bob – if we all had our say –

We’d organise our lives, Bob – in quite another way!



Tell us about charity – it’s the same where’er it’s played –

Lots of foreign investment disguised as friendly aid.

You give some with your left hand and take more back with your right!

By force if necessary and pretend that it’s all right!



So what can we all do, Bob – to banish want and need?

What can we all do, Bob – to put and end to war and greed?

What is the cause of hunger – what is it they all lack?

Is there more that we could do, Bob – than just get off their backs?



Do you think charity’s the answer, Bob, to counter greed and might?

Or is there another way, Bob – that we can make things right?

How about a system now, Bob, where need will be no more –

Where everyone will have enough – so there’ll be no more need for war?
