Poorman

Lyrics

[Intro: Dave Gahan & Martin L. Gore] Hey, hey, hey, hey [Verse 1: Dave Gahan & Martin L. Gore] Hey, there's no news Poor man still got the blues He's walking around in worn out shoes With nothing to lose [Verse 2: Dave Gahan & Martin L. Gore] Hey, he's on the road Pushing along his heavy load Heading for no fixed abode Shuffling slow [Bridge: Dave Gahan & Martin L. Gore] Hey [Chorus: Dave Gahan & Martin L. Gore] Corporations get the breaks Keeping almost everything they make Tell us just how long it's going to take For it to trickle down When will it trickle down? [Verse 3: Dave Gahan & Martin L. Gore] Hey, he's on the street Laying in the snow and sleet Begging for something to eat And looking beat [Verse 4: Dave Gahan & Martin L. Gore] Hey, passers-by They don't dare to catch his eye Couldn't even tell you why Or what's happening inside [Chorus: Dave Gahan & Martin L. Gore] Corporations get the breaks Keeping almost everything they make Tell us just how long it's going to take For it to trickle down When will it trickle down?
