  • Surely you're not saying we have the resources
  • To save the poor from their lot?
  • There will be poor always, pathetically struggling
  • Look at the good things you've got
  • Think while you still have me!
  • Move while you still see me!
  • You'll be lost, and you'll be sorry - when I'm gone!
