How Can a Poor Man Stand Such Times And Live - Bruce Springsteen[00:00:00]
Well the doctor comes 'round here with his face all bright[00:00:12]
And he says "in a little while you'll be alright"[00:00:19]
All he gives is a humbug pill[00:00:26]
A dose of dope and a great big bill[00:00:29]
Tell me how can a poor man stand such times and live [00:00:32]
"Me and my old school pals had[00:00:46]
Some mighty high times down here[00:00:48]
And what happened to you poor black folks[00:00:53]
Well it just ain't fair"[00:00:56]
He took a look around gave a little pep talk[00:01:00]
Said "I'm with you" then he took a little walk[00:01:03]
Tell me how can a poor man stand such times and live [00:01:07]
There's bodies floatin' on Canal[00:01:21]
And the levees gone to Hell[00:01:23]
Martha get me my sixteen gauge and some dry shells[00:01:27]
Them who's got got out of town[00:01:35]
And them who ain't got left to drown[00:01:38]
Tell me how can a poor man stand such times and live [00:01:42]
Got family scattered from Texas all the way to Baltimore[00:02:30]
Yeah and I ain't got no home in this world no more[00:02:36]
Gonna be a judgment that's a fact[00:02:44]
A righteous train rollin' down this track[00:02:47]
How can a poor man stand such times and live [00:02:51]
Tell me how can a poor man stand such times and live [00:02:58]
Tell me how can a poor man stand such times and live[00:03:05]
