White, Male And Poor

White, male and poor:
you're not wanted any more.
Slam goes the door when you're
white, male and poor.

White, male and poor.
Lower than the tarmac floor.
You're diseased and there's no cure
for white, male and poor.

White, male and poor.
Three bad strikes and that's the score.
Born outside the fence, too bad.
Wrong race.
Wrong sex.
Wrong dad.
