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
