I spent the whole weekend doing my taxes I hadn't had math since 1969 I enlisted the aid of my new calculator To add up that old bottom line And while I was counting those minuscule numbers I turned on the radio news They said Lady Imelda had left in Manila Some 3000 pairs of new shoes With my calculator I punched in three thousand Divided by three hundred and sixty five If she lives 8.2 more years, she'll have new shoes Every day for the rest of her life Now money is useful, it does come in handy I wont stand here grinding my axes But 6000 shoes, come on give me a break I complained and returned to my taxes When not o much later my radio player said Ferdinand Marcos, civilian Earning five thousand six hundred dollars a year Had somehow come up with three billion My hands began shaking, I punched in three billion Divided by five thousand six hundred one It would only have taken some 535,000 years To have done Some people have trouble with drugs and with gambling Some people have trouble with booze One of Ferdinand's problems was being too greedy And his wife was addicted to shoes But they've gone packing, it's safety in numbers And the truth I suppose only he knows How one man made three billion dollars From twenty-six million fellow Filipinos Just for fun I punched in 26 million people And I divided up all of the money he stole It made one hundred fifteen bucks thirty eight cents For each Philippine body and soul I do support enterprise and I support justice And even one's freedom to shoes But give back the money to rebuild your country I said, and I turned off the news
