how to get rich and have their way

I have a (small) lyric edit suggestion, which is I think should be quite straightforward and uncontroversial. It fixes a rhyme, while keeping the content the same.

1) In what is currently labelled as Verse 1, the lyrics read:

The people got burned

         C      

While the bankers they learned

        G               D

'bout an easy way to get rich

      G

Just restructure the debt

      C 

Charge big fees for your bets

   G        D      G
And make the people pay

The rhyme scheme here breaks down, and doesn't follow the pattern previously establsihed. Line 3 should rhyme with line 6.

To fix the issue, I suggest we flip line 3 to read as follows:

"how to get rich and have their way."

So the whole verse would read:

The people got burned

         C      

While the bankers they learned

        G               D

how to get rich and have their way

      G

Just restructure the debt

      C 

Charge big fees for your bets

   G        D      G

And make the people pay Problem solved!

reduce to 2 choruses

When we sang at South Street station on Friday the 27th,we felt 3 choruses was too much. I'd like to change the second chorus to a verse.
