Gas is going up again
And the rents are all too
Just spent a couple hundred on the windshield
And need some brake work too
Thats this modern world that we’re living in
And that, I understand
But I’m still making 10 an hour
Which ain’t even that bad
Oh it seems like you can’t just be poor anymore
Remember when things were free
Like museums and the zoo
Now you gotta pay just to drive on the highway
And swim in the swimming pool
Automobile and health insurance
We all need legally
But the only plans that I can afford
Don’t cover anything
Oh it seems like you can’t just be poor anymore
It used to be that you didn’t need
A lot to enjoy life
Just load up the family into the car
And head out to see the sights
But second jobs and part time gigs
Means no vacation days
Can’t get enough hours for benefits
Or to qualify for a raise
Oh it seems like you can’t just be poor anymore
I been working hard every day
And still the bills they ain’t getting paid
I used to believe that I’d done something wrong
But I’m doing just what my daddy did
And he managed to buy a home
I don’t need a brand new car
Just something to get around
And i don’t need the job of my dreams
In a tall building down town
I’m just trying to cut myself a slice
Of that american pie
Raise some kids have some fun on the weekends
And live a decent life
Oh it seems like you can’t just be poor anymore
