Lyrics
"I'm Poor"
Pick up the penny for good luck
Look at the date and see what's up
Time won't tell, but time will kill
So throw it down the wishing well
Sucks to be me, sucks to be you
It would suck to have been that bug on your shoe
If I was fancy and cool
Then you would respect me to
But I'm poor
And I'm ok with it, poor
Yea, there's worse things
I'm poor
And I'm ok with it, poor
So I toss in the coin for good luck
Wishing well it splashes up
The rich get rich, the poor get drunk
So won't you wish my penny luck
I just dream I got it awhile
Till I get a honest smile
To one self evil is done
So slip under the moon and peek at the sun
The sun is free
The sun is mine
I'm poor
And I'm ok with it, poor
Yea, there's worse things
I'm poor
And I'm ok with it, poor
Yea, there's worse things
I'm poor
I'm so, I'm so
I'm so poor
