Living In Poverty


lyrics by Joanna Mae Alcalde our family’s outside living in the cold cuz we’re living in the poverty threshold we turn to the government to see if they care fortunately they gave us some welfare our kids can’t even go to school, grandma’s going deaf thank goodness we’ve got TANF it is “temporary assistance for needy families” now we can do whatever we please grandma rita is getting old, her we pity thank you president for social security baby and i work really hard money goes to my social security card “my husband just lost his job. he got laid off by his stupid boss, bob.” got no money to pay the bills grandma rita won’t add us to her will thank goodness for unemployment insurance because of that, we got reassurance “my wife is the only working. she slipped on a grape.” ooohhhhhhh social security is important for you and me you should have some yeahh yeahh
