Poverty Lyrics

[00:32.06]	Up every morning with the sun
[00:35.96]	I work all day til the evening comes
[00:40.27]	Blisters and corns all in my hands
[00:44.33]	Lord, have mercy on a working man
[00:47.93]
[00:48.17]	I guess I'm gonna die just like I’m living
[00:52.59]	In poverty
[00:55.28]
[00:56.30]	My pay goes down and my tax goes up
[01:00.30]	I drink my tea from a broken cup
[01:04.45]	Between my woman and Uncle Sam
[01:08.69]	I can't figure out whose fool I am
[01:12.25]
[01:12.54]	I guess I'm gonna die just like I'm living
[01:16.95]	In poverty
[01:19.80]
[01:31.94]	Oh, Lord, it's so hard
[01:36.49]	But it's fair
[01:40.04]	Everybody talks but
[01:44.32]	Nobody really cares
[01:47.49]	Lord!
[01:48.97]
[02:05.46]	I can't save a dime, can't buy me one cent
[02:09.53]	I pay my bills, I can't pay my rent
[02:13.67]	The old lady's fussing and the kids are crying
[02:17.79]	They won't let me join the welfare line
[02:21.50]
[02:21.77]	I guess I'm gonna die just like I'm living
[02:26.17]	In poverty
[02:29.86]	They say there’s one poverty
[02:33.79]	They say it's going around now
[02:38.06]	But all I need is people Oh Lord
[02:42.46]	They're trying to keep you down now
[02:46.48]	Oh!
[02:48.27]
[02:50.81]	Poverty
[02:54.14]	That's where I'm gonna stay now
[02:59.25]	Oh Lord!
[03:02.45]	It seems that’s where I’m gonna stay
[03:14.54]
