Taken in by what you see

and what you want

you want for free

and could it be

you could be wrong

are we as weak as you are strong



Why do you do that poor man thing

why do you do that poor man 



All of my life it's as sharp as the

bigger the punch I'm feeling



You could be close to

the way you want to

why do you do that poor man

there ain't no self doubt

you know no way out

why do you do that poor man



Why do you do that poor man thing

why do you do that poor man 



All of my life it's as sharp as the

bigger the punch I'm feeling



Overcome by what you say

and what you want

is your own way

and could it be

I could be right

you only see life's black or white
