Poor People - Alan Price

Poor people are poor people

And they don't understand

A man's got to make whatever he wants

And take it with his own hands

Poor people stay poor people

And they never get to see

Someone's got to win in the human race

If it isn't you then it has to be me

So smile while you're makin' it

Laugh while you're takin' it

Even though you're fakin' it

Nobody's gonna know

Nobody's gonna know

It's no use mumbling

It's no use grumbling

Life just isn't fair

There's no easy days

There's no easy ways

Just get out there and do it

And sing and they'll

Sing your song

Laugh while you're getting on

Smile and they'll string along

And nobody's gonna know

Nobody's gonna know

Nobody's gonna know

And nobody's gonna know

La

Woo
