《Poverty》歌词

[00:00:01] Mick Hucknall - Poverty

[00:00:32] Up every morning with the sun

[00:00:35] I work all day til the evening comes

[00:00:40] Blisters and corns all in my hands

[00:00:44] Lord, have mercy on a working man

[00:00:48] I guess I'm gonna die just like I'm living

[00:00:52] In poverty

[00:00:56] My pay goes down and my tax goes up

[00:01:00] I drink my tea from a broken cup

[00:01:04] Between my woman and Uncle Sam

[00:01:08] I can't figure out whose fool I am

[00:01:12] I guess I'm gonna die just like I'm living

[00:01:16] In poverty

[00:01:31] Oh, Lord, it's so hard

[00:01:36] But it's fair

[00:01:40] Everybody talks but

[00:01:44] Nobody really cares

[00:01:47] Lord!

[00:02:05] I can't save a dime, can't buy me one cent

[00:02:09] I pay my bills, I can't pay my rent

[00:02:13] The old lady's fussing and the kids are crying

[00:02:17] They won't let me join the welfare line

[00:02:21] I guess I'm gonna die just like I'm living

[00:02:26] In poverty

[00:02:29] They say there's one poverty

[00:02:33] They say it's going around now

[00:02:38] But all I need is people Oh Lord

[00:02:42] They're trying to keep you down now

[00:02:46] Oh!

[00:02:50] Poverty

[00:02:54] That's where I'm gonna stay now

[00:02:59] Oh Lord!

[00:03:02] It seems that's where I'm gonna stay
