Poverty of Wires Songtext
von Big Bill

See, what they don′t seem to understand is
The problem with society is
The poverty of wires (wires, wires, wires, wires)
So tired
They're tired of the poverty
Poverty is tired
So tired
Like the problem with the planet is the poverty of wires
So tired
They′re tired of the poverty
Poverty is tired

So tired
Tired of the poverty
Poverty is tired
So tired
Remorse of the buyer
Poverty is tired


Well, the rich get richer
And the poor stay poor
You give a mouse a billion cookies
He's gonna take a billion more

They're tired
They′re tired of the poverty
Poverty is tired
So tired
Wealth is wired
Poverty is tired

They say it gets too much attention
They think the topic is a bore
If you bring this up at dinner
They say, ′Let's speak of this no more!′

They're tired
They′re tired of the poverty
Poverty is tired
So tired
House on fire
Poverty is tired


When they get to heaven
They can't wait to get in
They think they actually deserve it
They hope there′s nothing to plug in
And when they get to heaven
They'll find a very small door
And for the first time in their afterlife
They'll feel how it feels to be poor

So tired
They′re tired of the poverty
Poverty is tired
So very tired
Like the problem with the planet is the poverty of wires
So tired
They′re tired of the poverty
Poverty is tired
They're tired of the poverty ′cause poverty is tired

Poverty poverty
Poverty poverty
Poverty poverty, yeah
