Lyrics
We are the millionaires against hunger

I'm a millionaire and I got something to say
I got a million more that'll take me away
All the other ones' bills starting to percolate
As far as I'm concerned, why that's okay

Well I'm a millionaire too, but not like you
As far as I'm concerned, I've got a job to do
I've got to pave the way, I've got to save the day
I've got to make it better, I've got to say

You and I, we're millionaires
But we're a million miles away from the saint who stares
Upon the millions who die, every day of the week
Just because they can't get enough to eat

While we the rich dine on all these feasts
And everything's fine, yeah peaches and creme
But it just isn't something you've got to realize
There's something wrong, we've got to open our eyes

When the world cries, we just can't hide
We've got a job to do, we've got to save some lives

We are the millionaires against hunger

Hey hey, Mr. Millionaire
Twice as nice when you share
Hey hey, Mr. Millionaire
A spiritual price do you care
Hey hey, Mr. Millionaire
Dice the mice when you share
Hey hey, Mr. Millionaire
Pave the way, take the dare

I'm a millionaire and I got something to say
I got a million more that'll take me away
All the other ones' bills starting to percolate
As far as I'm concerned, why that's okay

Well I'm a millionaire too, all I know that is true
Is that I've got more cash than I can use
I want anything that I can have
But I don't need nothing and I never have

Each damn day my heart's set far
But I'll be okay, cuz I don't starve
Kids from the street the losing their emotion
So damn snobby so out of touch

With two hungry people who die as they stare
At the city at night, you know it gives to share
So listen up, you millionaires
Every woman, every man, help all you can

All races unite, and I will now concern
To the type of problem that helps us learn

We are the millionaires against hunger

Hey hey, Mr. Millionaire
Twice as nice when you share
Hey hey, Mr. Millionaire
A spiritual price do you care
Hey hey, Mr. Millionaire
Dice the mice when you share
Hey hey, Mr. Millionaire
Pave the way, take the dare

We are the millionaires against hunger
