Millionaires Against Hunger Lyrics

We're 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 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're 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 nothin' and I never have
Each damn day my heart's set far
But I'll be okay, ‘cause 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're 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 think it's about people like Bono from U2 who complain about the plight of the homeless and starving, but why don't they do something about ir

Bono hadn't turned messiah in 1985 (that's when the song came out), anyway, bono gets things done, so i don't mind him that much, i love u2 for their music anyway.

Not Valid

hah yeh bono thinks hes king of the world.. this is a funky song its great come on people what does it mean??I acctually doubt if this song is about them because when they released this they weren't doin to well so its probably about 'Mega Stars'.....

O yeh this was released in the same year as liveaid 1985 it's about that, they were probably trying to get on it lol.

Does RHCP ever help poor people? well I like this regardless. One of the best on Freaky Styley(Remasterd)

They don't usually tend to publish out every activism act they do.

i dont think they were millionaires when they made this song, so i think they were saying that once they were millionaires, then they could do something, or they could have just been mocking millionaires because most millionaires dont do shit to help people. regardless i still like the song, but it's not one of my favorites.

It's specifically a dig at the pop stars who played at Live Aid in 1985. Cf. "We Care a Lot" by Faith no More.

in my opinion its about hypocratic millionaires that tend to publish and show off about giving food to hungry people .
