Lyrics:
They’re closing all the schools down
Some teachers work for free now
And libraries won’t be found
Cause there’s not enough
Can you see a change in your town
Small business close it’s talked about
I’m trying to sort it out
What we’re giving up
Basically
There are people left out
From living
Comfortably can we figure it out
I’ve been waiting
Restlessly for the words to a song
That would
Change it all
Change it all
Change it all
I never found a 9 to 5
That was worth it from my soul
Til I
I pursued what brought joy in my life
And there’s something for us all
And I still think it is my right
And it’s the last and one of few
To get the luxury for learning
Something I could use
Basically
There are people left out
From living
Comfortably can we figure it out
I’ve been waiting
Restlessly for the words to a song
That could
Change it all
So many laws are changing
They say it’s the price for war
We send over at least ? billions
It’s hard to believe that years ago people died to fight
But history feels so far away
History feels so far away
We’re not fighting for our lives anymore
You’re not fighting for my life anymore
It’s hard to know what’s really worth fighting for
Or is it killing and dying on the streets
Basically
There are people left out
From living
Comfortably can we figure it out
I’ve been waiting
Restlessly for the words to a song
That could
Change it all
Basically
There’s enough for us all
So
Why can’t we somehow figure it out
I’ve been waiting
Restlessly for the words to a song
That could
Change it all
Change it all
If a song could change it all
What if we could change it all

Good idea, but seems that KFC no longer offers franchise opportunities in South Africa. You can approach other chicken outlets. http://www.whichfranchise.co.za/article.cfm?articleID=301 This article explains and also lists opportunities that you can look for.
Operation HOPE is America’s leading provider of economic tools and services to traditionally under-served communities helping individuals and families develop the skills needed to achieve financial stability.
The mission of Operation HOPE is to expand economic opportunity by fostering a sense of dignity through financial literacy and economic empowerment.
Operation HOPE improves the economic quality of life for individuals, families and communities through programs that create stakeholders: converting check cashing customers into banking customers, renters into homeowners, small business dreamers into small business owners, and minimum wage workers into living wage workers.
HOPE has helped over one and a half million people in over 250 U.S. cities and South Africa and has facilitated an investment of over one billion dollars into inner-city communities through the provision of:
Free adult and youth financial literacy programming
Foreclosure prevention services
First-time home buyer education and one on one counseling
Guidance and assistance to victims struck by disaster
Technical assistance to entrepreneurs and small business owners to help them achieve business success
And so much more.
Operation HOPE seeks to bridge the gap between the privileged and the poor, rallying hundreds of local, national and global partners behind the advancement of financial literacy, or what HOPE refers to as the first ‘Silver Right’ in the “Silver Rights Movement”.
The Silver Rights Movement recognizes that the key to financial stability is not solely dependent on ones ability to make more money, but rather the ability to make better financial decisions.
Leveraging its partnerships with government agencies such as FEMA and the US Department of Homeland Security, Operation HOPE has expanded the Silver Rights Movement beyond education.
Today, Operation HOPE is the only financial emergency preparedness and recovery service in the country helping victims overcome natural disasters and other emergencies through financial guidance and emergency preparedness.
Even with all Operation HOPE invests to make America’s communities survive, and thrive, there is so much more to be done.
America’s youth are in dire need of quality role models.
America’s home owners are in need of assistance in understanding and navigating the troubled waters that are today’s ongoing housing crisis.
America’s unemployed are in need of alternative job opportunities.
America’s disaster victims, like the recent tornadoes that devastated several southern states, are in need of advice and assistance.
A call to action. America, and Operation HOPE, need you. Get involved today and help create a better, more hopeful tomorrow.
