In this whole world that we got today
who knows how it goes
you may rise but you may fall
that’s the way it rose
And him that gets may be him that gives
What you got will help
they say a rich man/ may lose his soul
by saving all that wealth
but it’s hell—it’s hell on the poor boy
It’s hell –it’s hell on the poor boy
It’s hell –It’s hell on the poor boy
It’s hell on the poor boy
in a world that don’t care
he keeps a wheel a rolling
but he don’t get nowhere you’ll find him in some bread line
or standin at that bar
that’s just some way of killing time
all around the world
but it’s hell—it’s hell on the poor boy
It’s hell –it’s hell on the poor boy
It’s hell –It’s hell on the poor boy
You know he built this city
Every city on this earth
every dam /every bridge every church
and masons just his worth
he put that wall down in china
it was a mountain they was blocked
and some poor boy (got fooled ???????)
but it’s hell—it’s hell on the poor boy
It’s hell –it’s hell on the poor boy
It’s hell –It’s hell on the poor boy
