terrific, great lyrics, love the archaic feel!

Ha, I can relate. Buckle up, it's only gonna get worse.

Just another great ballad, Mark.  Probably more truth to it then most of us care to believe but a story which needs to be told.

fantastic!!! absolutely love this. well done man!

Lyrics:
It's dark down here
Wet and cold
My momma said
Don't go down that hole
You'll end up dead
Before your time

I was born poor
And poor I'll die
Unions are busted
And the bosses lie
Wages are low
For the working man

But I'm doing all that I can

Politicians get
Bought and sold
And they don't help
Carry my load
Sometimes I think
The world has gone to hell

Some forget their troubles with
Drugs and booze
Kill their bodies 'til
There's nothing left to lose
But that ain't no answer
To poverty

And I'm doing all that I can 

Then I think of
What's important to me
My friends
And family
You can't depend on
Anyone else

I was born poor
And poor I'll die
Unions are busted
And the bosses lie
Wages are low
For the working man

But I'm doing all that I can
