I heard your tangled yarn
and I am your trailer trash
but I didn't even have a trailer
see I lived in a rebuilt barn
and pennies were my cash
my family just a failure
of a broken system
maybe we had some chances
that you didn't have, maybe,
and we must missed them
but the world just dances
onward, onward, baby,
and like it or not
you'll listen with no pity
but only 20 percent
of the poor live in the city
that's 80 percent
lost in the countryside
the rural farmers
and their hard-earned pride
I've been here and there
and what you weren't seeing
is that way out there
welfare is a state of being.
