How Can a Poor Boy? (2015 version)

Had my congregation, had my flock

When I was a shepherd of men

I chased the wild goose, chased the pot of gold

Chased the rainbow's end

How can a poor boy get this message to you?

How can a poor boy? You don't believe anything that's true

Had my rise, had my downfall

Now I'm gonna rise up again

You know I had my degrees, had my initiations

Not speaking to the profane

How can a poor boy get this message to you?

How can a poor boy when you don't believe a thing that's true?

I've been anointed, I've been appointed

Even been magnified

Well you know I've spiеd a chapel all of gold

The priest was laying down with thе swine

How can a poor boy get this message to you?

How can a poor boy when you don't believe anything is true?

Watch the illusion of false security

Play of the shadows that move

Tell me what evil lurks in the hearts of men

Only the shadow knows

How can a poor boy get this message to you?

How can a poor boy when you don't believe a thing that's true, no no

How can a poor boy get this through to you?

How can a poor boy get this message to you?

How can a poor boy ever get through to you?

Get through to you, get through to you
