 What Are You Doing by Gloria Buono-Daly (C) 2025

[Intro]

More than enough to go around

Never reaches those in need

Still they’re buying, out on the town

Never taking heed

While the poor go without,

Go without…

 

[Verse 1]

No income

Poor to the core,

Homeless, unseen

Poverty-sore

Nothing in between

 

[Pre-Chorus 1]

And still you ask them

For generosity

For charity…

You should give,

So they eat and live

 

[Chorus Hook 1]

What are you doing

With all your money

What have you done lately

That mattered

Really mattered

Ooooo… ooo…

 

[Verse 2]

Someone skips dinner

To make rent

Someone else debates

Mansion number eight

Nothing in between

 

[Pre-Chorus 2]

And still you ask them

For generosity

For charity…

You should give,

So they eat and live

 

[Chorus Hook 2]

What are you doing

With all your money

What have you done lately

That mattered

Really mattered

Ooooo… yeah…

 

[Bridge]

If you really hated greed

You’d give till it hurt

Maybe it’s better to be needy than greedy

Don’t fake that you’re poor,

In your finest couture…..

You can’t take it with you when you die,

So why hoard wealth while others cry

 

[Outro]

The tragedy isn’t wealth,

It’s the emptiness it feeds

Billions can’t buy purpose,

But at least feed the poor…

Would mean so much more…

 

What are you doing

With all your money

What have you done lately

That mattered

Really mattered

 

[instrumental fade out arpeggio]

What are you doing

With all your money

What have you done lately

That mattered

Really mattered

Ooooooo…. Oooo…

 

[end of song]
