Just as Poor as Before Lyrics by Lazy Afternoon

Just as Poor as Before

2022

[Verse 1]
My riches, they are few
Just enough to make a do
To get me from the cradle to death's door
Though I struggle, and I save
I'm an economic slave
And I'm always just as poor as before
[Chorus]
Just as poor as before
My money ain't no more
I'm always just as poor as before
Yes, I have prayed to God
To give me better odds
But I'm always just as poor as before
[Verse 2]
"You'll never win", they say
"If you don't take a chance and play"
I thought today as I walked out the door
So, I played the lottery
But fortunе did not smile on me
So, I'm always just as poor as beforе
[Chorus]
Just as poor as before
My money ain't no more
I'm always just as poor as before
Yes, I have prayed to God
To give me better odds
But I'm always just as poor as before
[Verse 3 ]
A big banker did suggest that I try to invest
And pretty soon I would get my big score
But everything went bust
All my money turned to dust
So, I'm always just as poor as before
[Chorus]
Oh, just as poor as before
My money ain't no more
I'm always just as poor as before
Yes, I have prayed to God
To give me better odds
But I'm always just as poor as before
[Verse 4]
My last-ditch attempt would be to stage a major robbery
Then get away fast to some foreign shore
But it all went wrong somehow
And I'm in the jailhouse now
And I'm always just as poor as before
[Chorus]
Oh, just as poor as before
My money ain't no more
I'm always just as poor as before
Yes, I have prayed to God
To give me better odds
But I'm always just as poor as before
