Bm
Hey, there's no news
Poor man still got the blues
He's walking 'round in worn out shoes
With nothing to lose

Hey, he's on the road
Pushing along his heavy load
Heading for no fixed abode
Shuffling slow

Chorus:
A                     Bm
Corporations get the breaks
A                               Bm
Keeping almost everything they make
A                                   Bm
Tell us just how long it's going to take
            A
For it to trickle down
               G7
When will it trickle down

Hey, he's on the street
Laying in the snow and sleet
Begging for something to eat
And looking beat

Hey, passers-by
They don't dare to catch his eye
Couldn't even tell you why
Or what's happening inside

Chorus
