Share: A Musical Call for Societal Equality and Cooperation
Lyrics
When I was a small boy with my brothers I would fight
Reflecting on childhood conflicts and fights with siblings over possessions.
Over toys and sweets we'd argue morning until night
Describing ongoing disputes among siblings, emphasizing the intensity from morning to night.
When the screaming got too loud my mom would come in and say
Introduction of the mother intervening when conflicts escalate, setting the stage for a lesson.
If you boys dont learn to share I'll take your toys away
Mother's warning about sharing and the consequence of losing toys if the lesson isn't learned.
Share, share
Repetition of the theme "Share" as a central message.
Take just what you need and we can all live happily
Promoting the idea of taking only what is necessary for collective happiness.
If you'll just share, if you'll just share
Encouraging sharing for the sake of communal well-being.
Now that I am all grown up the lesson is well learned
Transition to adulthood with a reflection on learning the lesson of sharing.
Work hard and pay fair taxes on the money that you earn
Connecting the lesson to paying fair taxes on earned money and contributing to society.
Build houses, roads and railways, hospitals and schools
List of societal contributions like building infrastructure and institutions.
Look after young and old a fair society for all
Advocacy for caring for both young and old, promoting a fair society.
Share, share
Reiteration of the importance of sharing for collective happiness.
Take just what you need and we can all live happily
Emphasizing the idea that sharing leads to a harmonious coexistence.
If you'll just share, if you'll just share
Encouraging the act of sharing for the betterment of society.
Oligarchs and bankers, heads of state and CEOs
Addressing powerful figures like oligarchs, bankers, heads of state, and CEOs.
Look down from your ivory towers at the poverty below
Highlighting the contrast between the wealthy elite and the poverty-stricken masses.
Listen to my warning, take heed for it's a fact
Issuing a warning to those in power about the consequences of not sharing.
If you boys refuse to share we'll rise up and take the whole lot back
Expressing the potential uprising if the powerful entities continue to hoard resources.
Share, share
Reiteration of the theme of sharing for the overall well-being of society.
Take just what you need and we can all live happily
Stressing the importance of taking only what is necessary for a happy coexistence.
If you'll just share, if you'll just share
Encouraging the act of sharing for the betterment of society.
Share, share
Repetition of the central theme "Share" for emphasis.
Take just what you need or we;ll occupy your greed
Warning about potential consequences, such as occupying the greed of those who refuse to share.
If you won't share, if you won't share
Reiterating the negative outcome if sharing is neglected.
