lyrics

Separate the havers from the have nots
Poor folks always wantin' what the rich folks got
Lines are getting longer down at Centrelink
Wonderin' if today I'm gonna swim or sink

I know
What you're going to say
Let it go
It doesn't have to be that way

Running out of options nothing left to give
Poor folks always wonderin' how the other half live
Three years out of action for an arts degree
Situation vacant at the factory

I admit
It's my own mess that I got into
I'd forfeit
My kingdom for a room with a view

Stuck in between
Nightmare and a dream
That's a fact
And it's up on the screen
I'm making a scene
It's the last one in this act
It's the last one in this act
It's the last one in this act

Thawing out your dinner in the kitchen sink
Poor folks always wonderin' what the rich folks drink
Realisation subtle as a building brick
This never ending journey to the big salt lick

Woe
Woe is me
Does it show
This isn't what I wanted to be

Everybody's wonderin' how the poor folks live
