One, two, three
They are two able bodies and they both need work
One truck driver and a part-time clerk
Making the ends meet day by day
With no luck landing any permanent pay
They are the working poor
The forgotten poor
They have borne the brunt
They are the working poor
They feel lost and stuck
They are the working poor
Low on money and down on luck
Oh, the working poor
They got a sixty-nine Chevy that doesn't run
Two school-age daughters and a pre-school son
So many months behind in all their bills
With five еmpty bellies that nevеr fill
They are the working poor
The forgotten poor
They have borne the brunt
They are the working poor
They feel lost and sunk
They are the working poor
Low on money and down on luck
Oh, the working poor
They are all outside of the safety net
There are benefits that they'll never get
They are good, good people in a bad, bad way
It's hard to look forward to a better day
They are the working poor
The forgotten poor
They have borne the brunt
They are the working poor
They feel lost and stuck
They are the working poor
Low on money and down on luck
Oh, the working poor
They are the working poor
The forgotten poor
They have borne the brunt
They are the working poor
They feel lost and stuck
They are the working poor
Low on money and down on luck
Oh, the working poor
They are the working poor
The forgotten poor
They have borne the brunt
They are the working poor
They feel lost and stuck
They are the working poor
