Lyrics

Last call for the poverty train Last call for the poverty train, yeah It looks good and dirty on shiny light strip And if you don't get beat you got yourself a trip You can see the walls roar see your brains on the floor Become God, become cripple, become funky and split Why was I born No, no, no, no No, no, no, no No, no, no, no Oh baby, I just saw the devil and he's smiling at me I heard my bones cry devil whys it got to be Devil played with my brother, devil drove my mother Now all the tears in the gutter are floodin' the sea Why was I born No, no, no, no No, no, no, no No, no, no, no Oh baby, it looks good and dirty them shiny lights glow A million night tramps tricks and tracks will come and go You're starving today but who care anyway Baby it feels like I'm dyin Now I swear there's something better than Gettin' off on sweet cocaine It feels so good, it feels so good Gettin' off the poverty train Morning
