Taken in by what you see
and what you want
you want for free
and could it be
you could be wrong
are we as weak as you are strong

Why do you do that poor man thing
why do you do that poor man

All of my life it's as sharp as the
bigger the punch I'm feeling

You could be close to
the way you want to
why do you do that poor man
there ain't no self doubt
you know no way out
why do you do that poor man

Why do you do that poor man thing
why do you do that poor man

All of my life it's as sharp as the
bigger the punch I'm feeling

Overcome by what you say
and what you want
is your own way
and could it be
I could be right
you only see life's black or white
