Poor Boy Down — текст песни (mike and the mechanics)

Hes a poor boy in his pocket

Hes a poor boy in his shoes.

Hes done his time

Hes stood in line

That boy has paid his dues.



He aint looking for a handout

Hes just looking for a start

He dont hate anyone

He dont carry a gun

You can tell that kid is smart.



So you can

T keep that poor boy down

You can be unkind

You can rob him blind

But you cant keep that poor boy down.

You can lie and cheat

You can chain his feet

But you cant keep that poor boy down.



And all down throughout the ages

The kids been treated rough

Just take a look

In any history book

You can see that times were tough.



Now we move up to the nineties

Up to the 21st

One day hell stand

A full grown man

And be the same as all of us.



So you cant keep that poor boy down

You can lock him up

You can break his cup

But you cant keep that poor boy down.



You can fight and steal

You can drag your heels

But you cant keep that poor boy down

You can kick his ass

If the kids got class

You cant keep that poor boy down.



Lets stop the truck

Go back and pick him up

You cant keep that poor boy down.



Let him go!!
