Alan Price - Poor People lyrics

<b>Poor People</b> by <i>Alan Price</i><br />

Poor people are poor people -

And they don't understand

A man's got to make whatever he wants-

And take it with his own hands.

Poor people stay poor people -

And they never get to see

Someone's got to win in the human race-

If it isn't you, then it has to be me.

So smile while you're makin' it-

Laugh while you're takin' it-

Even though you're fakin' it-

Nobody's gonna know.

Nobody's gonna know.

It's no use mumbling.

It's no use grumbling.

Life just isn't fair-

There's no easy days

There's no easy ways

Just get out there and do it!

And sing and they'll sing your song-

Laugh while you're getting on-

Smile and they'll string along-

And nobody's gonna know.

Nobody's gonna know.

Nobody's gonna know.

And nobody's gonna know.
