Banking, Violence and the Inner Life Today

“Madri con le braccia immerse fino ai gomiti nell’acqua per lavare i panni, giovanotti senza un soldo in tasca e con le scarpe bucate, non disperate, provate a pensare positivo! Anche il più misero dei miseri può diventare un miliardario, se ha una buona attitudine e con un po’ di lavoro duro… E se poi vi andasse male, state comunque allegri: il sole splende ed il paradiso vi attende!”
Take a little time to improve your life
You have it in you, though there are holes in your shoes
Things needn't be so bad
Even the lowest of the low can be a millionaire
With the right attitude
And a little hard work

Just up the road the sun will shine
Let this happy thought see you through

Mothers with your arms to your elbows in the suds
Try some positive thinking
You will see the joy it brings you
You will see the wealth it brings
All you young men, you may not have a cent today
But just you wait
Tomorrow you will be in paradise

Just up the road the sun will shine
Let this happy thought see you through
Around the corner the sun is shining
Let this happy thought see you through

Take a little time to improve your life
You have it in you, though there are holes in your shoes
Things needn't be so bad
Even the lowest of the low can be a millionaire
With the right attitude
And a little hard work

Just up the road the sun will shine
Let this happy thought see you through
Just up the road the sun will shine
Let this happy thought see you through

Mothers with your arms to your elbows in the suds
Try some positive thinking
You will see the joy it brings you
You will see the wealth it brings
Oh you young men, you may not have a cent today
But just you wait
Tomorrow you will be in paradise

Just up the road the sun will shine
Let this happy thought see you through
Around the corner the sun is shining
Let this happy thought see you through
