[Verse 1]
You hear the hate in their voices
Even with a smile on their face
If you're not strong in your choices
They'll put you back in your place

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Now I've invested my timeline
Spoken to a lot of people
I've come to the conclusion
That no one rides for free

[Chorus]
Lowdown, broke up, hungry, poor man
Listless, beat up, dirty, sorry
Hard luck, senseless, forlorn no count blues

[Verse 2]
You hear the hate in their voices
All while they spit in your face
If you're not strong in your choices
All that you've built they erase

[Pre-Chorus 2]
I used to think we wore masks
But now I look around and see
Who are these other people
Looking back at me?
[Chorus]
Lowdown, broke up, hungry, poor man
Listless, beat up, dirty, sorry
Hard luck, senseless, forlorn no count blues

[Bridge]
Paycheck blues
Laid off blues
Shameful blues
No count blues

You wanna see me shaking it a little now?
They know what I'm talkin'
I think it's time to get up so we can get down
Let's get to it
And I ain't stayin' here no more
You know what I'm talkin' about

[Chorus]
No more lowdown, broke up, hungry, poor man
Listless, beat up, dirty, sorry
Hard luck, senseless, forlorn no count blues
