letra de because of the blues - the people the poet

i wish that i could find it funny
but it was mind that made money, now it is money that takes a piece of mind
im finding it hard to find all the things that money can’t buy
the hunger is getting the better of me and that rope looks appertizing hanging tightly from the tree
so we cut down the trees for the warmth only to feel the overdraft
so i took the remains to craft my family a raft
here i am caught in the river banks that won’t let me go offshore
a father, a husband who can’t provide for his family anymore
i remember that day so clear i watched my house get rеposesed,oh how that day would change my lifе and the way we dressed
imagine your standing there staring at your child, who is ready to go walk into the wild
she’s stood there ready to leave cause she believes its one mouth less to feed
we’re not living in a recession we are living in a depression
so i followed the screams for help to a city of children, where the screams got louder in a city made up of powder
i climbed up the rocks to a place they called the bronx
the kids here dont have no father figure, the kids here find it hard to see how life could configure
they dont know life for its true value, they dont build dreams and theres no statue
no liberty, cause there all living in the fear of the iron lady
they shut down the 12 bars because of the blues, now we’re back there because of all of you
so lets take back whats ours and paint this town red
back in the 90’s they took my company car, but if they took away my families company i wouldn’t have got far
