Lyrics

Poverty Tourist

You bought out the stock at Oxfam
To cut it up and make a profit
While somebody scraped their pennies
But can’t find a thing that fits

It must be nice to know you’d be alright if you quit
When you’re much better off than you are willing to admit

We know who you really are
Poverty tourist

It’s so nice that you can holiday
In my financial insecurity
By acting like the working class
With your affected accent, post punk band

Purge a vulnerable community while you remain shameless
Cuz you’d step over anyone for the chance to be famous

We know who you really are
Poverty tourist

Isn’t it funny that being perceived as having no money is profitable
You get to play dress up
While others struggle to keep up
But you stay ignorant
It’s despicable

We know who you really are
Poverty tourist
