Bad Time to Be Poor (The Rheostatics cover) Lyrics
It is a bad time to be poor
Because we don't give a shit no more
If you want to go for help, don't look next door
The line's been drawn and staked outside
I see to trying to lay the blame
On the folks in charge who hide in shame
For growing up with an open purse
And learning not about being alive
Haven't I done enough to burn out?
Haven't I been there to help out?
It is a bad time to be young
What's left to us can't be undone
Without it riding on our backs
When young and poor go hand in hand
It is a bad time to be poor
And feeling winter through a crack in the door
Because we don't give a shit no more
If you want to go for help, don't look next door
The line's been drawn and staked outside
On the folks in charge who hide in shame
For growing up with an open purse
And learning not about being alive
Haven't I been there to help out?
What's left to us can't be undone
Without it riding on our backs
When young and poor go hand in hand
And feeling winter through a crack in the door
