{c: }
[D] Once the shops were filled with [A] things that I could [D] buy
But the prices of them all have gone sky [A] high
Don't suppose [D] they're gonna drop
Gotta get used [G] to the charity shop
Just tell me [D] how can poor men
[A] Stand such times and [D] live
{c: }
[D] Seems like only yester [A] day food was so [D] cheap
Now the cost of eating goes up every [A] week
So you search for [D] the best deals
Have to miss out [G] on some meals
Just tell me [D] how can poor men [A] stand such times and [D] live
{c: }
[D] Get that first foot on the [A] ladder they all [D] say
But on what I'm earning they know there's no [A] way
Ain't no [D] bank that's gonna lend
They got [G] bonuses to spend
Just tell me [D] how can poor men [A] stand such times and [D] live
{c: }
[D] Council housing's something [A] I will never [D] get
Put my name down on the list I'm waiting [A] yet
So I'm [D] renting privately landlords [G] profiting from me
Just tell me [D] how can poor men [A] stand such times and [D] live
{c: }
[D] Getting round is getting [A] harder every- [D] -day
Used to drive a car but lately there's no [A] way
Trains are [D] only for the rich
And the [G] bus fares are a bitch
Just tell me [D] how can poor men [A] stand such times and [D] live
{c: }
[D] And the doctors [A] don't' come out no more at [D] night
They won't treat you if they think you don't live [A] right
While they [D] privatize the best
Soon there'll [G] be no NHS
Just tell me [D] how can poor men [A] stand such times and [D] live
{c: }
[D] Keeping warm is [A] something poor folks cannot [D] do
Cause the oilmen need a private yacht or [A] two
Power [D] companies make gold as the [G] pensioners grow cold
Just tell me [D] how can poor men [A] stand such times and [D] live
Just tell me [D] how can poor men [A] stand such times and [D] live
Just tell me [D] how can poor men [A] stand such times and [D] live [A] [D]
