Chorus:
Am C
And I know things will get better
Am C
Sooner or later
Am
And if they don’t
G C
At least we’ll drown together
G
At least we’ll drown together
Lyrics:
While the well runs dry
The worst is yet to materialize
Its American pie
You better dig it or die
For what we know not what’s in store
Everyday we receive just a little bit more
But one thing certainly is for sure
It’s a good time to be poor
It’s a good time to be poor
See the company that I keep around
Ain’t concerned if the mother f***in Dow is down
Just a hand relation to the mouth
It’s a good time to be poor
It’s a good time to be poor
And I know things will get better
Sooner or later
But if they don’t
At least we’ll drown together
At least we’ll drown together
The mayor just gave herself a raise
While the working man’s job is in slow decay
Don’t she know we all got bills to pay
It’s a good time to be poor
But case around what we’ll be we’ll be
Love my friends will set us free
Brother Obama is gonna come save me
It’s a good time to be poor
It’s a good time to be poor
I know things will get better
Sooner than later
And if they don’t
Then we can drown together
Then we can drown together
You must respect those who labor
Those who work the hardest are the least favored
Just remember that a carpenter can be your savior
It’s a good time to be poor
It’s a good time to be poor
And there are many I am only one
My brothers keeper my fathers son
Victim of the world till my days are done
It’s a good time to be poor
It’s a good time to be poor
And I know things will get better
Sooner or later
But if they don’t
Then we can drown together
Then we can drown together
Then we can drown together
