How Can A Poor Man Stand Such Times And Live - UB40[00:00:00]

Once the shops where filled with things that I could buy[00:00:23]

But the prices up them all the guns got high[00:00:29]

Don't suppose they're gonna drop[00:00:35]

Gotta get used to the charity shop[00:00:38]

Just tell me how can poor men[00:00:41]

Stand such times and live[00:00:43]

Seems like only yesterday food was so cheap[00:00:46]

Now the cost of eating goes up every week[00:00:52]

So you search for the best deals[00:00:58]

Have to miss out on some meals[00:01:01]

Just tell me how can poor men[00:01:04]

Stand such times and live[00:01:06]

Get that first foot on the ladder they all say[00:01:16]

But I'm quite Adamant they know there's no way[00:01:22]

Ain't no bank that's gonna lend[00:01:27]

They got bonuses to spend[00:01:30]

Tell me how can poor men[00:01:33]

Stand such times and live[00:01:36]

Council housing something I will never get[00:01:39]

Put my name down on the list I'm waiting yet[00:01:45]

So I'm renting privately landlords profiting from me[00:01:51]

Tell me how can poor men[00:01:57]

Stand such times and live[00:01:59]

Getting round is getting harder everyday[00:02:26]

Used to drive a car but lately there's no way[00:02:32]

Trains are only for the rich[00:02:38]

And the bus fares are a bitch[00:02:41]

Tell me how can poor men[00:02:44]

Stand such times and live[00:02:46]

And the doctors don't' come out no more at night[00:02:55]

They won't treat you if the think you don't live right[00:03:01]

Well they privatize the rest[00:03:07]

Soon there'll be no NHS[00:03:10]

Tell me how can poor men[00:03:13]

Stand such times and live[00:03:15]

Keeping warm is something poor folks cannot do[00:03:19]

Cause an oilmen need a driving yacht or two[00:03:25]

Now the companies may grow as the pensioners grow cold[00:03:31]

Tell me how can poor men[00:03:36]

Stand such times and live[00:03:39]

Tell me how can poor men[00:03:42]

Stand such times and live[00:03:44]

Just tell me how can poor men[00:03:48]

Stand such times and live[00:03:50]
