Poor People / Justice - Medley Lyrics - My Weekly Reader - Nellie Mckay

Poor people are poor people 

And they don't understand 

A man's gotta make whatever he wants 

And take it with his own hands 

Poor people stay poor people 

And they never see 

Someone's gotta win in the human race 

If it's not 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

No use mumblin' 

It's no use grumblin' 

Life just isn't fair 

There's no easy days 

No easy ways 

Just get out there and do it 

And sing and sign a song 

Laugh while you're getting on 

Smile and ya string along 

Nobody's gonna know 

Nobody's gonna know 

Nobody's gonna know 

Nobody's gonna know 

We all want justice, but you gotta have the money to buy it 

You'd have to be a fool to close your eyes and deny it 

There's a lot of poor people who are walking the streets of my town 

Too blind to see that justice is used to do them right down

All life, from beginning to end, you pay your monthly installments 

Next to health is wealth and only wealth will buy you justice 

There'll always be a fool who insists on taking his chances 

And that's a man who believes in true love romances 

He will trust and rely on the goodness of human nature 

Now a judge will tell you that's a pathetic creature 

All life, from beginning to end, you pay your monthly installments 

Next to health is wealth and only wealth will buy you justice 

Money, Justice 

Money, Justice 

Money, Justice 

Money, Justice
