Perfect Poverty

I’ll tell you a story ‘bout a man they called ‘Mr. Lucky’
He had all the town and its people under thumb
They gave him their money, in return he gave them ‘protection’
Mr. Lucky he said I ain’t goin’ to hurt no-one

chorus
Who, who do you thing you’re fooling
What kind of people do you take us all to be
Who, who do you think you’re fooling
Wow do we live in this urban cavity
In perfect poverty

I’ll tell you a story ‘bout a family who lived on 2^nd (ave)
They were poor, hard working but they lived by honesty
Ignored by a government who’s helping the rich get richer
And denied any chance or any opportunity

chorus

I’ll tell you a story ‘bout a world full of angry people
Tired of corruption and trying to make ends meet
Gone are the days when you really could trust your neighbour
And gone are the days when it paid to live honestly

Chorus
