How Can A Poor Man Stand Such Times And Live

歌詞

Once the shops where filled with things that I could buy But the prices up them all the guns got high Don't suppose they're gonna drop Gotta get used to the charity shop Just tell me how can poor men Stand such times and live Seems like only yesterday food was so cheap Now the cost of eating goes up every week So you search for the best deals Have to miss out on some meals Just tell me how can poor men Stand such times and live Get that first foot on the ladder they all say But I'm quite Adamant they know there's no way Ain't no bank that's gonna lend They got bonuses to spend Just tell me how can poor men Stand such times and live Council housing something I will never get Put my name down on the list I'm waiting yet So I'm renting privately landlords profiting from me Just tell me how can poor men Stand such times and live Getting round is getting harder everyday Used to drive a car but lately there's no way Trains are only for the rich And the bus fares are a bitch Just tell me how can poor men Stand such times and live And the doctors don't' come out no more at night They won't treat you if the think you don't live right Well they privatize the rest Soon there'll be no NHS Just tell me how can poor men Stand such times and live Keeping warm is something poor folks cannot do Cause an oilmen need a driving yacht or two Now the companies may grow as the pensioners grow cold Tell me how can poor men Stand such times and live Tell me how can poor men Stand such times and live Just tell me how can poor men Stand such times and live
