Ellis Paul

Ellis Paul (born Paul Plissey; January 14, 1965) is an American singer-songwriter and folk musician. Born in Aroostook County, Maine, Paul is a key figure in what has become known as the Boston school of songwriting, a literate, provocative and urbanely romantic folk-pop style that helped ignite the folk revival of the 1990s. His pop music songs have appeared in movies and on television, bridging the gap between the modern folk sound and the populist traditions of Woody Guthrie and Pete Seeger. more »

Everybody's got a song about America
Oh, clutch your breast and stand up straight and tall
This is just one song about America
Oh, I took the lyric off a bathroom wall

Broke and hungry

I don't know nothin' about democracy
Don't know how to spell bureaucracy
Don't know about the ups and downs of the economy
All I know is that they're there and I'm here, I'm here

Broke and hungry

I don't know who is in the presidency
Oh and I ain't asking for his royal leniency
Cause I have seen the people stand in line sucking on society
I have seen them all from where I'm standing here, here

Broke and hungry
