Bad Time To Be Poor Lyrics

Rheostatics Bad Time To Be Poor

It is a bad time to be poor,
cause 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 enought 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.

haven't i done enought to burn out ?
haven't i been there to help out ?

it is a bad time to be poor,
and feeling winter through a crack in the door.
