The Poor Jesse Welles

[Chorus]
If you worked a little harder
Then you’d have a lot more
So the blame and the shame’s on you
For being so damn poor

[Post-Chorus]
It ain’t the price gouging
And it ain’t the inflation
It ain’t everyone above ya tryna make a buck from ya
And screwin' the whole congregation

[Verse 1]
I had that reduced lunch
I had the benefit cards
It never occurred to me to blame my family
For life being so damn hard
I should've paid attention
Back when I was in school
Then I could figure up the tax
I would know a lot of facts
I missed thе class where they taught thе rules

[Verse 2]
I was memorizing capitols
I was in the spelling bee
I must've missed the part
Where they taught the art
Of private equity
I was selling chocolate bars
I had a disorder
I was cuttin' up a frog
Got lost in the fog
Learnin' how to play a recorder
