Poor Little Girl versuri

Poor Little Girl lyrics by Abney Park

A poor little girl was too sad to work
Her parents were wrought from recession
So they tell her to seek out a therapist soon
But she’s broke on account of depression

A millionaire’s son becomes a billionaire soon
On account of his family’s aggression
And he snatches up some property all over the world
Including the girls with depression

So they tell her „go seek a lawyer and fight” but that costs more than the shrink
So the rich keep on winning like they had from the beginning
It really should make people think

Well there’s a fix to every problem
But it always starts with money
You can’t pull yourself up by your bootstraps
When your boots are broke honey

Well there’s a fix to every problem
But it always starts with money
You can’t pull yourself up by your bootstraps
When your boots are broke
When your boots are broke, baby

A woke man worked hard in the day at the local factory
One day he tripped, into machinery slipped
Cut his legs off at the knee

So they tell him to go seek a lawyer and fight
But he’s broke as he has no legs
Now he sits on the corner where his old boss shops
With his head down, he just begs

Well there’s a fix to every problem
But it always starts with money
You can’t pull yourself up by your bootstraps
When your boots are broke honey

Well there’s a fix to every problem
But it always starts with money
You can’t pull yourself up by your bootstraps
When your boots are broke
When your boots are broke, baby
