The Reason We're Poor Lyrics - Singles - Jordin Baas

some people are illuminated 

some people are blinded by the light 

but it doesn't make a difference anyway 

cause we'll never know what's right 

some people need to take the edge off 

while other's are just edgy enough 

some fall into a demographic 

of items and things 

look how easily books have been replaced 

by television sets and video games 

but it's all just entertainment anyway 

now holidays have lost their meaning 

but then again so has almost everything 

that was made to serve a greater purpose 

and there's only one thing to blame 

it's all of us we've fallen into the game 

don't give your money to the man 

although its so convenient, they're just 

holding out their hands 

don't give your money to the source 

they'll trick you into thinking that 

you're saving. 

but their the reason we're poor 

ever wonder if politics are rigged? 

ever notice there's a pill for everything? 

ever get that feeling that you're nothing? 

so what made you buy your car 

your shirt, your shoes? 

is it cause those items reflect you? 

now your a walking advertisement 

and there's only one thing to do 

we can't stop them but they cant get to you 

if you 

don't give your money to the man 

although its so convenient, they're just 

holding out their hands 

don't give your money to the source 

they'll trick you into thinking that 

you're saving. 

but their the reason we're poor
