Poorman

[Intro: Dave Gahan & Martin L. Gore]

Hey, hey, hey, hey

[Verse 1: Dave Gahan & Martin L. Gore]

Hey, there's no news

Poor man still got the blues

He's walking around in worn out shoes

With nothing to lose

[Verse 2: Dave Gahan & Martin L. Gore]

Hey, he's on the road

Pushing along his heavy load

Heading for no fixed abode

Shuffling slow

[Bridge: Dave Gahan & Martin L. Gore]

Hey

[Chorus: Dave Gahan & Martin L. Gore]

Corporations get the breaks

Keeping almost everything they make

Tell us just how long it's going to take

For it to trickle down

When will it trickle down?

[Verse 3: Dave Gahan & Martin L. Gore]

Hey, he's on the street

Laying in the snow and sleet

Begging for something to eat

And looking beat

[Verse 4: Dave Gahan & Martin L. Gore]

Hey, passers-by

They don't dare to catch his eye

Couldn't even tell you why

Or what's happening inside

[Chorus: Dave Gahan & Martin L. Gore]

Corporations get the breaks

Keeping almost everything they make

Tell us just how long it's going to take

For it to trickle down

When will it trickle down?
