Hip (Eponymous) Poor Boy - Jack White

Well, I get into the game

But it’s always the same

I’m the man with the name

Hip eponymous poor boy

Poor boy

Call me whatever you may

I ain’t stopping the train

I got a pill for the pain

Hip eponymous poor boy

Poor boy

And I know

That I can’t defeat you

But you don’t worry now

I ain’t going to preach to you

Well, there you go

But I’ll be going right there with you

Yeah, wherever you’ll be

You’ll be looking at me

But don’t get out of your chair

Or put a bow in your hair

You might be making them stare so

Leave the care to the poor boy

The poor boy

And that’s the name of the game

Keep on staying the same

Ain’t nobody to blame

Nobody but the poor boy

The poor boy

Well OK, so you fell asleep today

What’s funny to me though

Is that you did that yesterday

You must think I’m mad

Doing all the things that I don’t need to do

But while you’re laughing at me

I’ll be laughing at you

So I get into the game

But always keep it the same

And I’ll be using your name

But they’ll be yelling at me poor boy

Poor boy

But I’ll be happy for you

Cause you got nothing to do

And I’ll be singing the blues

Walking around singing poor boy

Poor boy

Sometimes a cold shiver comes over me

And it turns me on

When the song takes over me

Well alright, I can’t fight if the odds are against me

But I can’t sit still

Because I know that I will

And you’ll be watching me, girl

Taking over the world

Let the stripes unfurl

Gettin' rich singin' poor boy

Poor boy

And I’ll be coming to play

I do it every day

And the title will stay

Hip eponymous poor boy

Poor boy
