Poverty is our life,
work and toil to survive.
Hygiene has no place at all.
Health is a dead spray.
Sickness and fever reign,
and our squalor is a shame.
We are poor and out of touch,
cause our leaders passed the buck.
Exploited and abused,
we are always being used.
Nothing a day is fair pay for a long, long day.
Well-known brands take us on,
make us work all day long.
Sweatshops are the thing today,
no one will complain.
Round the world it's much the same,
global tricks are all to blame.
Think about what's said and done,
have a heart if you can.
We are just human beings,
trying to live within our means.
Poverty shouldn't be here,
let's share the wealth around.
