Lyrics
Coming back alone to a cold and empty house
That once was home in the dark
Coming back again to move the debris to the door
And the bills from the mat
Aren't we supposed to be the poorest of the poor
With nothing much to live or hope or go back for
So we'll know every song the radio plays but that's no boast
And we'll laugh at every joke though it's
Us that seems to laugh about them most
'Cause we buy all their food and all their clothes
I'd love to stay I'd choose a million different things for you
But you know any drug will do
No one needs to hear this story once again
How we can slip and not climb back
If I only had the power I'd pull a switch
To throw some light but I just can't
'Cause we are just the poorest of the poor
And no one seems to hear us till someone else says it first
So we'll know every song the radio plays but that's no boast
And we'll laugh at every joke though it's
Us that seems to laugh about them most
'Cause we buy all their food and all their clothes
I'd love to stay I'd choose a million different things for you
But you know any drug will do
Aren't we supposed to be the poorest of the poor
With nothing much to live or hope or go back for
So we'll know every song the radio plays but that's no boast
And we'll laugh at every joke though it's
Us that seems to laugh about them most
'Cause we buy all their food and all their clothes
I'd love to stay I'd choose a million different things for you
But you know any drug will do
But you know any drug will do
