Poor People Songtext
von 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.
