lyrics

I’m dyin’ for some work but now the work isn’t there
It all dried up to nowhere, somewhere off in the air
And maybe far away, they’re out uncorkin’ some wine
But over here we’re up against the poverty line

We’re lockin’ out the swindlers,
pushin’ back on the swine
We’re fightin’ just to keep above the poverty line
We’re hangin’ tough, there’s got to be a positive sign
We’re fightin’ just to keep above the poverty line

Now who could see it comin’
No one ever explained
But all I know is every day my pockets are drained
We live our lives with honor
Never wanted a shrine
So how’d we wind up here around the poverty line

Chorus.

My family’s gettin’ nervous
They can’t hide what they feel
They stare at those potatoes that we’re callin’ a meal
But more and more
It seems like there’s a darker design
The hurt down here is real at the poverty line

Chorus.
