The Common Cold Lyrics

You built your billions - now you wanna give some back

Through your corporate grants and charities, and not pay any tax

All your talk of doing good

is getting old

If you wanna save the world go find a cure

For the common cold

Your newfound generosity paints you as a caring soul

It's not about democracy, cause you keep all the control

Whoever pays the piper, always calls the tune

So we won't hold our breath, for real change, anytime soon

All your talk of doing good

is getting old

If you wanna save the world go find a cure

For the common cold

Well you try and you try

But your money cannot buy all things

Like a ticket into heaven

or peace that a clear conscience G brings

An end to inequality, don't believe their sales pitch

Why would billionaires save us from problems that help make them rich

All your talk of doing good

is getting old

If they wanna save the world go find a cure

For the common cold

All your talk of doing good

Do something bold

If you wanna save the world go find a cure

For the common cold
