ry cooder - how can a poor man stand such times and live? (live) lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
i remember a time when everything was cheap
now prices nearly puts a man to sleep
well when we get our grocery bill
we feel like making our will
tell me how can a poor man stand such times and live?
tell me how can a poor man stand such times and live?

[verse 2]
well, the doctor comes around with his face all bright
and he says in a little while you’ll be all right
well all he gives is a humbug pill
a dose of dope and a great big bill
tell me how can a poor man stand such times and live?
tell me how can a poor man stand such times and live?

[instrumental verse and guitar solo]

[verse 3]
most preachers, well they preach for gold and not for souls
well that’s what keeps us poor folks always in a hole
now we can hardly get our breath
taxed and schooled and preached to death
tell me how can a poor man stand such times and live?
tell me how can a poor man stand such times and live?
