Poverty Shadow Play

Bye. Bye. Oh, sure, you're hanging on the corner line We laugh till the stars align Empty bowls singing empty tunes But our hearts overflowing under the noon Oh poverty you can't hold us back We jump and we sway fill the air with our track No money in hand but joy in our soul Sing it loud, let the good times roll Oh, sure, you're hanging on the corner line Oh poverty you're just a shadow of a play We feast on the rhythm chase your blues away We feast on the rhythm chase your blues away Tomorrow's a rain, but the moon shines through Share a bite of cassava, make it last for two Old shirt patched up but it fits just fine We holler in harmony cross that ragged line Empty bowls singing empty tunes But our hearts overflowing under the noon Oh poverty you can't hold us back We jump and we sway fill the air with our track No money in hand but joy in our soul Sing it loud, let the good times roll Oh poverty you're just a shadow of a play We feast on the rhythm chase your blues away We feast on the rhythm chase your blues away We feast on the rhythm chase your blues away Tomorrow's a promise wrapped in today's grin We clap and we stomp let the merry begin No king on the throne, but we're rulers of cheer Turning one into wonder, year after year Oh poverty you can't hold us back We jump and we sway fill the air with our track No money in hand but joy in our soul Sing it loud, let the good times roll Oh poverty you're just a shadow of a play We feast on the rhythm chase your blues away We feast on the rhythm chase your blues away We feast on the rhythm chase your blues away We feast on the rhythm chase your blues away
