Poor Man Killer

If you live in a council flat

And you’re poor and all of that

With loads of others, same air breathe

Soon for you they will grieve

It’s a poor man killer

Then you won’t have much hope

To escape the gallows rope

Your funeral suit is bespoke

Corona’s got you by the throat

It’s a poor man killer

You got no hope to isolate

That is a rich man’s fate

If you’re poor and you’re old

To coronavirus you’ve been sold

Poor man killer

If you’re poor, poor and old

They’ll put you on hold

But when you’re corona sold

You’re corona sold

Poor man killer

Got no hope, here’s a rope

Funeral suit is bespoke

Got a good chance to croak

Being lucky, only hope

It’s a poor man killer

And if you’re on a poor estate

You don’t get a lucky break

And you’re in a family

The same air you breathe

Poor man killer

If you’re poor, got no chance

It’s a death dance

See the covid-19 prance

Watch that plague advance

Poor man killer
