Too many Florence Nightingales Not enough Robin Hoods Too many halos not enough heroes Coming up with the goods
So you though you'd like to change the world Decided to stage a jumble sale For the poor, for the poor
It's a waste of time if you know what they mean Try shaking a box in front of the Queen 'Cause her purse is fat and bursting at the seams It's a waste of time if you know what they mean
Too many hands in too many pockets Not enough hands on hearts Too many ready to call it a day Before the day starts
So you thought you'd like to see them healed Got blue Peter to stage an appeal For the poor, for the poor
It's a waste of time if you know what they mean Try shaking a box in front of the Queen 'Cause her purse is fat and bursting at the seams It's a waste of time if you know what they mean
