Poverty Train |
| last call for the poverty train |
| last call for the poverty train |
| it looks good and dirty on shiny light strip |
| and if you don’t get beat you got yourself a trip |
| You can see the walls roar see your brains on the floor |
| become God become cripple become funky and split |
| why was i born |
| i saw the devil and he’s smiling at me |
| i heard my bones cry devil why’s it got to be |
| devil played with my brother devil drove my mother |
| now the tears in the gutter are floodin the sea |
| why was i born |
| oh baby it looks good and dirty them shiny lights glow |
| a million night tramps tricks and tracks will come and go |
| you’re starvin today but who care anyway baby it feels like i’m dying |
| now i swear there’s something better than gettin off on sweet cocaine |
| it feels so good it feels so good |
| getting off the poverty train |
| morning |
