Hey, hey, hey, hey Hey, there's no news Poor man still got the blues He's walking around in worn out shoes With nothing to lose Hey, he's on the road Pushing along his heavy load Heading for no fixed abode Shuffling slow Hey Corporations get the breaks Keeping almost everything they make And tell us just how long it's going to take For it to trickle down When will it trickle down? Hey, he's on the street Laying in the snow and sleet Begging for something to eat Looking beat Hey, passers by They don't dare to catch his eye Couldn't even tell you why Or what's happening inside Corporations get the breaks Keeping almost everything they make Tell us just how long it's going to take For it to trickle down When will it trickle down?
