lyrics

You're saying that it's much too hard
Everybody's got an axe to grind
Not so happy with your hand of cards
Every cloud has got a silver lining

You go away for summer
To stretch out on the beach
You used to be a runner
Now you're living on your knees

Everybody's got the poor mes
It's a crippling social disease
Everybody's got the poor mes
All the starving kids in Africa ain't got nothin' on me

The road is rocky and the path is hairy
They say you can't define irony
If you look inside a dictionary
it's just similar or opposite to what you mean

You sleep in for hours
And you wear expensive clothes
Take a forty minute shower
That's okay cos everybody knows

Everybody's got the poor mes
It's a crippling social disease
Everybody's got the poor mes
All the starving kids in Africa ain't got nothin' on me
On me
Poor Me
Poor Me

They say that life is like a box of chocolates
Never knowing what you're gonna get
If you look along the side of the packet
The ingredients are listed in the fine print

You're such an individual
But you follow latest trends
You're society's residuals
It's enough to send you round the bend

Everybody's got the poor mes
It's a crippling social disease
Everybody's got the poor mes
All the starving kids in Africa ain't got nothin' on me
