《Poor Boy Down》歌词

[00:00:00] Poor Boy Down - Mike & The Mechanics

[00:00:02] Written by：Michael Rutherford/Christopher Neil

[00:01:02] He's a poor boy in his pocket

[00:01:05] He's a poor boy in his shoes

[00:01:09] He's done his time

[00:01:10] He's stood in line

[00:01:12] That boy has paid his dues

[00:01:15] He ain't looking for a handout

[00:01:18] He's just looking for a start

[00:01:21] He don't hate anyone

[00:01:23] He don't carry a gun

[00:01:24] You can tell that kid is smart

[00:01:27] So you can't keep that poor boy down

[00:01:30] You can't keep that poor boy down

[00:01:34] You can be unkind

[00:01:35] You can rob him blind

[00:01:37] You can't keep that poor boy down

[00:01:40] Keep that poor boy down

[00:01:43] You can't keep that poor boy down

[00:01:46] You can lie and cheat

[00:01:47] You can chain his feet

[00:01:49] But you can't keep that poor boy down

[00:02:18] And all down throughout the ages

[00:02:21] The kid's been treated rough

[00:02:24] Just take a look

[00:02:25] In any history book

[00:02:27] You can see that times were tough

[00:02:30] Now we move up to the nineties

[00:02:34] Up to the 21st

[00:02:36] One day he'll stand

[00:02:38] A full grown man

[00:02:39] And be the same as all of us

[00:02:42] So you can't keep that poor boy down

[00:02:46] Keep that poor boy down

[00:02:49] You can lock him up

[00:02:50] You can break his cup

[00:02:52] But you can't keep that poor boy down

[00:02:56] Keep that poor boy down

[00:02:58] You can't keep that poor boy down

[00:03:01] You can fight and steal

[00:03:03] You can drag your heels

[00:03:05] You can't keep that poor boy down

[00:03:49] You can't keep that down

[00:03:52] You can kick his ass

[00:03:53] If the kid's got class

[00:03:55] You can't keep that poor boy down

[00:03:58] Keep that poor boy down

[00:04:00] Don't talk them keeping down

[00:04:02] Keep that poor boy down

[00:04:05] Let's stop the truck

[00:04:06] Go back and pick him up

[00:04:08] Keep that poor boy down

[00:04:09] You can't keep them down

[00:04:11] Keep that poor boy down

[00:04:14] Keep that poor boy down

[00:04:20] Keep that poor boy down

[00:04:23] Keep that poor boy down
