Poorman - Depeche Mode

Hey, there’s no news

Poor man still got the blues

He’s walking around in worn out shoes

With nothing to lose

Hey, he’s on the road

Pushing along his heavy load

Heading for no fixed abode

Shuffling slow

Hey

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?

Hey, he’s on the street

Laying in the snow and sleet

Begging for something to eat

And looking beat

Hey, passers-by

They don’t dare to catch his eye

Couldn’t even tell you why

Or what’s happening inside

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?
