The Ex Government Minister.

He lives on his fat retirement pension and he's doing quite okay And with his wealthy buddies on the golf course every day He practices his putting and his driving and the good life he enjoy And of thirst and malnutrition this man will never die. On the board of a big corporation he makes more in one day Than many in a month do who work hard for their pay A man who has become wealthy out of the social divide As the gap between the haves and the have nots has grown wide. A former Government Minister none of his mates are poor And his wife and his family are financially secure Still good luck to him as I not to be his judge And of his easy life and affluence him I should not begrudge. With their wealthy connections he and his wife dine And in the upper class restaurants drink the most expensive wine And his voters who gave to him fame and helped his wealth to grow Are not part of his circle and them he does not wish to know.
