 Struggling with Poor Man? Become a better singer in 30 days with these videos!

Left in the land of green and gold
Happy ever more and never more to see
The place we were bought and sold
Where we sound great in stereo
Happy where the scenery is black and white
And everything is monotone

Empires will rise and fall as quickly as you breathe
But they're big around the middle
And they're pudgy on the sides
And you can't take it with you so a poor man I will be

Left is the hand that you will hold
Lead me to the table and the fruits of all our labor in a plastic bowl
Now the summer air is turning cold
But it's warmer by the fire where we're burning all the files and the videos
In time you'll see too much before you stop to blink
So you're frightened just a little and you're puzzled all the time
And I can't take you with me when a dead man I will be

All jaded hearts won't find their peace
While my true love presides as queen
Over lands where a peasant can't afford to sleep
So let them swear their crazy oaths
Happy ever after in the wake of the disaster
And the broken homes
And gather round the plastic bowl
After all the scenery is black and white
And everything is stereo

In time you'll see too much before you start to think
So you're frightened just a little and you're puzzled all the time
And I can't take you with me when a dead man I will be
