when you're poor
you wait in line
you wait in line
all the time
and the line grows longer
every day
when you're poor
you do your time
you do your time
waiting in line
and when it comes your time
no one can say
when you're poor
it's so frustrating
you're always waiting
anticipating
the very worst to come true
when you're poor
you're always hating
time becomes grating
because waiting
is all you ever do
nobody cares
unless you have money everyone's responsible
for themselves
nobody cares
unless you have money
and can help make more money
for somebody else
when you're poor
you're always afraid
you're always afraid
rent can't be paid
and those hungry children won't be fed
when you're poor
they lay it on thick
you can't even afford to be sick
it's one of life's dirty tricks
and then you're dead
your time is worthless
there's no reason
to help out
nobody cares
your time is worthless
that's what business
is about
when you're poor
you're always hoping
you don't start doping
to keep you coping
'cause better days are coming soon
when you're poor
you're always praying
that your paycheck ain't decaying
but that's okay
when you owe the company store
you grab any hope you can
when you're poor
and what's more
life ain't no Disneyland
when you're poor
