Poor White Lyrics
There’s a glow at the border
Rose city on the 409
But the city’s been bled white
White city on the 409
And the doctor ordered
White city on the 409
Drinks all night to see who throws up first
Left feeling much worse
Poor white
So I wait for the 14
White city on the 409
And I wait for the 409
And a yesterday dream
White city on the 409
And a nicotine high
To drag the sunset down
And paint this paling town
Poor white
So here he comes with the blank expression
Looking for me cause he thinks I feel the same
But happiness pulls me in my direction
Going to [?] square
To find your name
Don’t you dare disturb me
White city on the 409
While I’m balancing my past
White city on the 409
'Cause you can’t even hurt me
White city on the 409
Like you already have
You didn’t treat me right
But I’m not fucked, not quite
Poor white
Poor white
Rose city on the 409
But the city’s been bled white
White city on the 409
And the doctor ordered
White city on the 409
Drinks all night to see who throws up first
Left feeling much worse
Poor white
White city on the 409
And I wait for the 409
And a yesterday dream
White city on the 409
And a nicotine high
To drag the sunset down
And paint this paling town
Poor white
So here he comes with the blank expression
Looking for me cause he thinks I feel the same
But happiness pulls me in my direction
Going to [?] square
To find your name
White city on the 409
While I’m balancing my past
White city on the 409
'Cause you can’t even hurt me
White city on the 409
Like you already have
You didn’t treat me right
But I’m not fucked, not quite
Poor white
Poor white
