Givin’ It All Away

The only way to get love is to be lovable.  It’s very irritating if you have a lot of money.  You’d like to think you could write a check:  ‘I’ll buy a million dollars’ worth of love.’  But it doesn’t work that way.  The more you give love away, the more you get.

Bloody Well Right
Favorite Line(s):
So you think your schooling is phony
I guess it’s hard not to agree
You say, “It all depends on money
And who is in your family tree”
Right (right), you’re bloody well right
You got a bloody right to say
Right, you’re bloody well right
You know, you got a right to say

A Higher Standard

The bread which you do not use is the bread of the hungry; the garment hanging in your wardrobe is the garment of him who is naked; the shoes that you do not wear are the shoes of the one who is barefoot; the money that you keep locked away is the money of the poor; the acts of charity that you do not perform are so many injustices that you commit.
