[Intro]
Hey, hey, hey, hey
[Verse 1]
Hey, there's no news
Poor man still got the blues
He's walking around in worn out shoes
With nothing to lose
[Verse 2]
Hey, he's on the road
Pushing along his heavy load
Heading for no fixed abode
Shuffling slow
[Bridge]
Hey
[Chorus]
Corporations get the breaks
Keeping almost everything they make
Tell us just how long it's going to take
For it to trickle down
When will it trickle down?
[Verse 3]
Hey, he's on the street
Laying in the snow and sleet
Begging for something to eat
And looking beat
[Verse 4]
Hey, pa**ers-by
They don't care to catch his eye
Couldn't even tell you why
Or what's happening inside
[Chorus]
Corporations get the breaks
Keeping almost everything they make
Tell us just how long it's going to take
For it to trickle down
When will it trickle down?
