Fields of Plenty

[Verse 1] In my short time, I've heard it told That a man that wins, is a man that's bold First come first, and the last leave empty It's all fair son in these fields of plenty [Verse 2] In school I's told, don't fall behind And the dole's no place for any child of mine And there's room at the top and they promised us entry A chance for a share in their fields of plenty [Verse 3] So debts we made, and debts we pay And the price they set was eight hours a day And you'll work it off son if you start in your twenties And trade your years in thеse fields of plenty [Verse 4] So cribs wе bought and houses sold And the debt bought credit and the credit bought the homes But the work soon dried and the loans they ended Well it's winner takes all in these fields of plenty [Instrumental Break] [Verse 5] So I say to them all y'know That the way you come is the way you'll go And I promise you this, you won't miss a penny When you're lying below your fields of plenty [Verse 1] In my short time, I've heard it told That a man that wins, is a man that's bold First come first, and the last leave empty It's all fair son in these fields of plenty
