lyrics

If being poor means
Not having lots of money
Then I guess I'm poor

If being poor means
Not having lots of cash
Then I'm poor for sure

But if being poor means
That I don't have the most important things
You can't buy at the store
Then I'm not all that poor

I have a functioning body with functioning limbs
I have a nice little hat with a nice little brim
I have breathable air and a world to explore
So I can't say that I feel all that poor

I have a nice little watch that I can wear on my wrist
I have a sandwich to eat for any meal that I've missed
I have an iPhone with a data plan that my parents pay for
So I can't say that I feel all that poor

I have this special rock my friend painted for me
I can search in the dumpster to find something to eat
I can save up the coins I have and try to find more
So I guess I shouldn't feel all that poor

And if we get cold in this frigid air
We can go to the apartment that I live in upstairs
I have a couch and comfortable heat
And cupboards full of food if we want to eat

Yes, I have a laptop and wifi to keep us entertained.
We can play all the video games that I have obtained
On this 50" television that I adore
Now, thanks to you
I really don't feel all that poor!
