This bubble Oh this cage
It’s like I’m just trapped
In a poverty cage bubble
It traps me
I can’t escape it
No jobs no careers
No prosperity
Stuck on a low income
No home to call my own
How could I possibly escape from this awful cage?
When I can’t even make a minimum wage
It makes me so angry
So full of rage
Banksters exploit the poor they are the elite
While people in the ghetto struggle to eat
We are allowing our defeat
Stuck in this true misery
T he poverty trap
How do I handle that?
Left school at sixteen
Felt there was no hope so much misery
BULLIED so much beyond belief
Depression and suicide nearly destroyed me
So without full education
How do I find a basic income?
I struggle its hard
I never chose this path
I wish I had more
But instead I’m left hanging on the floor
While the elitists earn their wealth
People like me suffer with ill health
HOW CAN I ESCAPE THE POVERTY CAGE? I DON’T EVEN LIVE ON BASIC MINIMUM WAGE.
CAN WE RISE ABOVE AS PEOPLE? TO TRY AND MAKE US ALL EQUAL?
TRY AND FIND A WAY OUT?
I’M STUCK LIVING IN A PLACE I DON’T WANNA BE
BECAUSE I CAN’T AFFORD TO JUST BE ME
A PLACE FOR JUST ME MYSELF AND I
AN INDEPENDANT LIVING
THAT I WAS NEVER GIVING
JUST STUCK IN THIS POVERTY BUBBLE
MAY ASWELL BE DEAD ON THE RUBBLE
PEOPLE WE NEED TO RISE AGAINST OUR DEMISE AND REALISE
WE CAN’T BREAK THIS POVERTY CAGE WITHOUT A RISE.
Stuck on welfare, just giving the very least bare minimum of survival
Certainly have no money for anything trivial
There is no hope,
I can barely cope
I could aim for the sky if I chose
But I’d fall back down
Mind still spins around
Searching for a way out of this poverty bubble
Don’t think i’ll find one
