lyrics

No Sin to be Poor
Live Lyrics

V1
Oh Mary get back in the line, As if you got nothing but time,
You gotcha kids counting on you, Waiting on stamps for food.
But it’s no Sin
Three jobs and a couple a babies, Oh Mary you ain't never been lazy,
But you can’t make water from wine, You’re paying that rent on time,
Girl it’s no sin..

CHORUS
So Go on, Shine up those go-gos, Take A big solo,
Oh, dancing in the dollar store is no… Non sin to be poor

V2
Oh Mary fill out the form, let that bureaucrat lecture you more
Well he don’t know you, Never stood in your shoes, So don’t cha go look at the floor
No no it’s no sin..

CHORUS

BRIDGE
Now Mary don’t you go takin no guff, From some kid living up on a trust.
Or some lady in designer wardrobe, You’re looking good in them second hand clothes
Oh go on

CHORUS

OUTRO
Go on, Trade in those bottles, Cash for that lotto
Oh dancing in the dollar store’s no…..
No sin to be poor.
