Lemon Pie - Shemekia Copeland
Train left the station
I didn't climb aboard
price of the ticket
was too much to afford
And I saw that politician
I know you know his name
Waving from the window
of that gravy train
Lemon pie for the poor
lemon pie for the poor
that's what we're working for
I hope you weren't expecting
more than lemon pie for the poor
I'm hungry for a job
I'm hungry for a meal
I'm hungry for the good things
I'm too proud to steal
I'm barely gettin' by
I'm doing this and that
while people up top keep getting fat
Lemon pie for the poor
lemon pie for the poor
that's what we're working for
I hope you weren't expecting
more than a little old piece
of lemon pie for the poor
Don't you ever wonder
why you just keep on running
when all you got's a
teeny weeny itty bitty piece coming
Piece of lemon pie for
the poor poor poor poor

Life is just a coal mine
you're shafted every day
The boss man must've never heard
that Lincoln freed the slaves
So you keep on working
your face against the stone
While others get the steak
you get the bone
Lemon pie for the poor
lemon pie for the poor
that's what we're working for
Lemon pie for the poor
lemon pie for the poor keep on
scrubba rubba dubbing those floors
And I hope you weren't expecting
more than a little old piece of
lemon pie for the poor poor
lemon pie for the poor poor
