god bless the child

• billie holliday'in söylediği arthur herzog jr ile birlikte yazdıkları şarkının sözleri şöyle, gündeme de uygun sanki:
  them that's got shall get
  them that's not shall lose
  so the bible said and it still is news
  mama may have, papa may have
  but god bless the child that's got his own
  that's got his own
  
  yes, the strong gets more
  while the weak ones fade
  empty pockets don't ever make the grade
  mama may have, papa may have
  but god bless the child that's got his own
  that's got his own
  
  money, you've got lots of friends
  crowding round the door
  when you're gone, spending ends
  they don't come no more
  rich relations give
  crust of bread and such
  you can help yourself
  but don't take too much
  mama may have, papa may have
  but god bless the child that's got his own
  that's got his own
  
  mama may have, papa may have
  but god bless the child that's got his own
  that's got his own
  he just worry 'bout nothin'
  cause he's got his own
