BLUES SONG OF THE DAY (Male): Omar & The Howlers - Hard Times In The Land Of Plenty (Dykes) (From "Hard Times In The Land Of Plenty", 1987, CBS Records)
=========
Some people have, some people have not;
Some got a little, and some got a lot.
Poor people cryin' 'cause they ain't got a dime,
They're left standin' in a welfare line...
Hard times in the land of plenty;
Some got it all and the rest... ...Ain't got any.
The taxman says you gotta pay mo' money;
Ah when you're already broke, you know that just ain't funny.
You gotta rob Peter - pay back Paul;
Used ta stand up straight, but now you got to crawl.
Hard times in the land of plenty;
Some got it all and the rest... ...Ain't got any.
Nobody knows you when your money's gone;
Your future looks dark when your credit's blown.
You got to hustle to stay alive;
You got to be on top if you wanna survive.
Hard times in the land of plenty;
Some got it all, and the rest...
Hard times in the land of plenty;
Some got it all, and the rest... ...Ain't got any.
Hard times in the land of plenty.
