The Working Poor

Lyrics

One, two, three They are two able bodies and they both need work One truck driver and a part-time clerk Making the ends meet day by day With no luck landing any permanent pay They are the working poor The forgotten poor They have borne the brunt They are the working poor They feel lost and stuck They are the working poor Low on money and down on luck Oh, the working poor They got a sixty-nine Chevy that doesn't run Two school-age daughters and a pre-school son So many months behind in all their bills With five еmpty bellies that nevеr fill They are the working poor The forgotten poor They have borne the brunt They are the working poor They feel lost and sunk They are the working poor Low on money and down on luck Oh, the working poor They are all outside of the safety net There are benefits that they'll never get They are good, good people in a bad, bad way It's hard to look forward to a better day They are the working poor The forgotten poor They have borne the brunt They are the working poor They feel lost and stuck They are the working poor Low on money and down on luck Oh, the working poor They are the working poor The forgotten poor They have borne the brunt They are the working poor They feel lost and stuck They are the working poor Low on money and down on luck Oh, the working poor They are the working poor The forgotten poor They have borne the brunt They are the working poor They feel lost and stuck They are the working poor
