GBH - The Desire Of Poverty lyrics
[GBH - The Desire Of Poverty lyrics]
I've been down park lane and it
Stinks like any other street
And I don't want to go to
Where you find life is cheap
The beggars all want to be
Loved just like anyone
But, I won't buy you drugs
And carry the misery on
The desire of now, no desire to know how
The desire of poverty
The desire for new, the desires of a few
The desire of poverty
You got the logo labels but you
Got no food to eat
If they gave you a million dollars
You'd blow it in a week
The world owes you a living or so you think
You drag your children down leave
Them teetering on the brink
The desire of now, no desire to know how
The desire of poverty
The desire for new, the desires of a few
The desire of poverty
The desire of want, the desire for won't
The desire of poverty
The desire to need, the desire of greed
The desire of poverty
The desire of now, no desire to know how
The desire of poverty
The desire for new, the desires of a few
The desire of poverty
We're all in the gutter but some
Of us are looking up
Born with a silver spoon but you
Drink from a plastic cup
The tacky icons you worship
They 'ain't worth a thing
You've set your sights too low
You can't see they pain it brings
The desire of now, no desire to know how
The desire of poverty
The desire for new, the desires of a few
The desire of poverty
The desire of want, the desire for won't
The desire of poverty
The desire to need, the desire of greed
The desire of poverty
Stinks like any other street
And I don't want to go to
Where you find life is cheap
The beggars all want to be
Loved just like anyone
But, I won't buy you drugs
And carry the misery on
The desire of now, no desire to know how
The desire of poverty
The desire for new, the desires of a few
The desire of poverty
You got the logo labels but you
Got no food to eat
If they gave you a million dollars
You'd blow it in a week
The world owes you a living or so you think
You drag your children down leave
Them teetering on the brink
The desire of now, no desire to know how
The desire of poverty
The desire for new, the desires of a few
The desire of poverty
The desire of want, the desire for won't
The desire of poverty
The desire to need, the desire of greed
The desire of poverty
The desire of now, no desire to know how
The desire of poverty
The desire for new, the desires of a few
The desire of poverty
We're all in the gutter but some
Of us are looking up
Born with a silver spoon but you
Drink from a plastic cup
The tacky icons you worship
They 'ain't worth a thing
You've set your sights too low
You can't see they pain it brings
The desire of now, no desire to know how
The desire of poverty
The desire for new, the desires of a few
The desire of poverty
The desire of want, the desire for won't
The desire of poverty
The desire to need, the desire of greed
The desire of poverty
