Poverty Give It A Try

Poverty, give it a try it's free
Skip a meal
Wear the same clothes for a year
or three

Take a holiday
In a book in the library
Pin all your hopes
on the lottery
but you know only death is free

Maybe find someone worse off than you to love
Find a vice or two
to kill time

And that's it
All you need
And you might envy the rats
for their freedom

Perhaps they envy us.
