...THE WORLD ISN'T FAIR... by Randy Newman --------------------------................ *from 'Bad Love' (1999)* Verse 1:

When ^DmKarl ^AmMarx were a ^Bbboy, he ^Ftook a ^C7hard look a-^Fround; He saw ^Am7b5people were ^D7starving all ^Gmover the ^Gm/Dplace, While ^C7others were ^Caugpainting the ^Ftown.

Verse 2: F Gm7 F F/C C7 F The public spirited boy, became a public spirited man.

So he ^Dmworked very ^Amhard, and he ^Bbread every-^F/Athing, Un-^G7til he came up with a ^Cplan.

Bridge 1:

There'll ^Fbe no ^A7exploi-^Dmtation, of the ^Dmworker ^F7or his ^Bdim7kin. ^Dm No dis-^A7crimi-^Dmnation, 'cos the ^Bbcolour ^Eof your ^A7skin.

^Dm No more ^Bbdim7private ^Bdim7proper-^Abdim7ty; it ^Adim7would not ^Gbdim7be allo-^C7wed. No one ^Dbcould rise too high, no once could ^Fsink too low, Or go ^Funder com-^Bbpletely, like ^G7some we all ^Cknow.

Verse 3:

If ^FMarx were ^Gm7living to-^Fday, he'd be ^Frolling a-^C7round in his ^Fgrave. And if ^DmI had him ^Amhere, in my ^Bbmansion on the ^F/Ahill, I'd ^Dmtell him a ^Amstory; t'would ^Bbgive his old heart a ^F/Achill. It's ^G7something that happened to ^Cme.

Break:

I'd say, ^AbKarl I ^Brecently ^Fstumbled, ^Abinto a ^Bnew fami-^Fly. With ^Dbtwo little ^Echildren in ^Bbschool, where ^Dball little ^G7children should ^Cbe. I ^Abwent to the ^Borien-^Ftation; ^Aball the young ^Bmommies were ^Fthere.

Verse 4:

Karl, you ^Dmnever have ^Amseen such a ^Bbglorious ^F/Asight, As these ^Dmbeautiful ^Am/Cwomen, ar-^Bbrayed for the ^Fnight.

Just like ^DbCountesses, ^AbEmpresses, ^Bbm/Fmovie stars and ^F/Cqueens. And they'd ^G7come there with with men much like ^Cme; ^F Froggish ^Cmen, un-^Bbpleasant to ^Csee. Were you to ^Dbkiss one, Karl; ^Bbmerry a ^C7prince would there ^Fbe.

Chorus 1:

See ^DmKarl, the ^Bb7world isn't ^Ffair; it ^Bbisn't and ^Enever will ^Fbe. They ^Gm7tried out your ^Fplan; it brought ^Bbmisery in-^Fstead. If you'd ^Gm7seen how they ^Fworked it, you'd be ^Bbglad you were ^Fdead. Just like ^BbI'm glad I'm ^Fliving in the ^Bbland of the ^Ffree, Where the ^Bbrich just get ^F/Cricher, and the ^Bbpoor you don't ^A7ever have to ^Dmsee.

It would de-^Gdimpress us, Karl, because we ^F/Ccare... That the ^Fdimworld, still ^C7isn't... ^Ffair.
