Poor Places
from Chris Merritt:
Songs From Brokeland (2011)
I woke up to all the people I knew them as children
They grew up and made some money and turned in to yuppies
They got a pretty car and technology they don’t know how to use
How’d they get so far? I have nothing now I don’t know what to do
Living in tight spaces
I’m living in poor places
Trying to get smiles from beautiful women
Tell me, what do I gotta do to get ahead?
Living in poor places
Trying to get smiles from all of the beautiful women
Tell me, what am I to do? What am I to do?
When I am
Being held inches under the surface
Like an elephant traveling with the circus
I’m a paperface and you’re throwing me in the furnace
Every day inches under the surface
I don’t know, but I’m living in poor places
I woke up the snow was falling in New York and New York
was falling I think the people are losing America
Now maybe I’m Chicken Little but I think we’re Rome I think we’re Mayans now
If you want to know the truth, I’m the best here at being always broke.
Living in tight spaces
I’m living in poor places
Trying to get smiles from beautiful women
Tell me, what do I gotta do to get ahead?
Living in poor places
Trying to get smiles from all of the beautiful women
Tell me, what am I to do? What am I to do?
When I am
Being held inches under the surface
Like an elephant traveling with the circus
I’m a paperface and you’re throwing me in the furnace
Every day inches under the surface
I’m a paperface and you’re throwing me in the furnace
That’s why I’m living in poor places
Living in poor places
