Poorman

[Intro: Dave Gahan & Martin L. Gore]
Hey, hey, hey, hey

[Verse 1: Dave Gahan & Martin L. Gore]
Hey, there's no news
Poor man still got the blues
He's walking around in worn out shoes
With nothing to lose

[Verse 2: Dave Gahan & Martin L. Gore]
Hey, he's on the road
Pushing along his heavy load
Heading for no fixed abode
Shuffling slow

[Bridge: Dave Gahan & Martin L. Gore]
Hey

[Chorus: Dave Gahan & Martin L. Gore]
Corporations get the breaks
Keeping almost everything they make
Tell us just how long it's going to take
For it to trickle down
When will it trickle down?

[Verse 3: Dave Gahan & Martin L. Gore]
Hey, he's on the street
Laying in the snow and sleet
Begging for something to eat
And looking beat
[Verse 4: Dave Gahan & Martin L. Gore]
Hey, passers-by
They don't dare to catch his eye
Couldn't even tell you why
Or what's happening inside

[Chorus: Dave Gahan & Martin L. Gore]
Corporations get the breaks
Keeping almost everything they make
Tell us just how long it's going to take
For it to trickle down
When will it trickle down?
