I don't know where we got the thought
that there's nothing owed and nothing bought.
We fill the gaps, we close our eyes,
but the question's set in every sky:
Whose world?
The winning circle pays no bills,
takes no blame,
takes no spills.
The throw of dice,
the fall of cards,
the players never stop to ask:
Whose world?
Money talks
while justice walks it's lonely long way round.
The bitter seed sends forth its leaves
to shade the stony ground.
The Master sends a runner out
to call the people round about:
the poor, the weak, the wretched ones,
gathered from here to kingdom come.
Now, whose world?
