Poverty

from Collected1011 by March

/

lyrics

Night on the roadside
Neon lights on the road
The cars blowing dust in your eyes
A few yards from your home
Don't know how you got here
Or how long you will stay
You'll fight off the cold in your sleeping bag
A few yards away

Night round the coal fire
Your suitcase for a chair
Nights when the thought of your life
Is damn too much to bear
The warm light from their windows
Like a beacon that pulls so hard you cannot face it
It's just too much to follow
It's just too hard to care
So you don't care

Breathing in indifference
Breathing out the truth
You spend your life wondering
Are you in poverty
Or is poverty in you

Numb from the cold night
The desperation you feel
Will these cigarettes last until light
Will you find your next meal
The hard stares then look away
When they recognise that there but for the grace of God go I

Breathing in indifference
Breathing out the truth
You spend your life wondering
Are you in poverty
Or is poverty in you
