Poverty
Poverty shoo
Rent ain't paid, kids not fed, bill collectors knocking
No penny, no cent, no rupee or kwacha
Hunger stalks, stands there to watch ya
Poverty shoo
No dollar, no pound, no euro
Belly aches, smile is fake
Wife is not happy, kids are screaming
Poverty shoo
Give me a break, go someplace else
Leave me in peace
Lord give me a job I pray
Rent ain't paid, kids barely fed, bill collectors tripping
No dime, no nickel, no quarter
Nothing to sustain me but water
Poverty be gone I pray
