Life is an unfair competition
From the very beginning of life.
Those born to privilege and money,
The right people, with the right parents,
The right connections, family
And ethnic background.
Speaking the majority language
Belong to the right religious group
The right gender and sexual orientation,
The right political party,
Come out the gate
Already way ahead at birth
And they race to the top
And stay there for the most part.
Those born to the wrong people
The wrong social class
The wrong side of town
The wrong ethnic group.,
The wrong religious group,
The wrong gender
The wrong sexual orientation
The wrong political party,
Join the race of life
Already way behind
And for the most part
They never catch up.
The game is rigged
From the beginning.
Those that have the gold
Have the green
Make the rules
Of the game of life.
From the moment
One is born
The world sorts you out
Into winners and losers.
That’s just the way it is
In the unfair competition
That is our lot
In the game of life.
