Poverty Train Lyrics
last call for the poverty train
last call for the poverty train
It looks good and dirty
On Shiny light strip
and if you don’t get beat
you got yourself a trip
You can see the walls roar
see your brains on the floor
become God
become cripple
become funky
and split
why was I born?
I just saw the Devil
and he’s smilin’ at me
I heard my bones cry
“Devil, why’s it got to be?”
Devil played with my brother
Devil drove my mother
Now the tears in the gutter
are floodin’ the sea
why was I born?
Oh baby
It looks good and dirty
them shiny lights glow
a million night tramps
tricks and tracks
will come and go
You’re starvin’ today
but who cares anyway?
baby, it feels like I’m dyin’
Now
I swear there’s somethin’ better than
gettin’ off on sweet cocaine
it feels so good
it feels so good
getting off the poverty train
mornin’
last call for the poverty train
It looks good and dirty
On Shiny light strip
and if you don’t get beat
you got yourself a trip
see your brains on the floor
become God
become cripple
become funky
and split
why was I born?
and he’s smilin’ at me
I heard my bones cry
“Devil, why’s it got to be?”
Devil played with my brother
Devil drove my mother
Now the tears in the gutter
are floodin’ the sea
why was I born?
It looks good and dirty
them shiny lights glow
a million night tramps
tricks and tracks
will come and go
You’re starvin’ today
but who cares anyway?
baby, it feels like I’m dyin’
I swear there’s somethin’ better than
gettin’ off on sweet cocaine
it feels so good
it feels so good
getting off the poverty train
mornin’

this is about the plight of the poor. People who have money care little for them and many are addicted to drugs.
Music is also inspired by our day-to-day existence. Usually, personal experience is a good theme in making a good song. So far, the economic system has quite a distance to go before you will see any serious recovery. Now, web based lending has grown leaps and bounds. Go ahead and do a little investigation to see the many brand new categories of loans accessible over the web. there are things such as bail bonds, to get people out of jail, right now already have some sort of underwriter willing to take on those varieties of loans, (See <a href="http://bailbondlenders.com/">BailBondLenders.com</a>). The net is definitely getting uncontrollably. Every person should really be mindful of those who are just saying spend spend.
