Crime To Be Poor
Two kids get busted
One of them's broke
And poor kid goes to prison
But the rich kid don't
It shouldn't be a crime to be poor
It shouldn't be a crime
It shouldn't be a crime to be poor
No no no
Poor folks go to prison
And rich folks get forgiven
It shouldn't be a crime to be poor
No no no
Steal a million dollars
You might pay a fine
Steal a pack of gum
And you will do hard time
It shouldn't be a crime to be poor
It shouldn't be a crime
It shouldn't be a crime to be poor
No no no
Poor folks go to prison
And rich folks get forgiven
It shouldn't be a crime to be poor
No no no
Don't matter if you're guilty
If you can't make the bail
You get that public lawyer
And you're going to jail
It shouldn't be a crime to be poor
It shouldn't be a crime
It shouldn't be a crime to be poor
No no no
Poor folks go to prison
And rich folks get forgiven
It shouldn't be a crime to be poor
No no no
Fish without a license
Get cuffs on your wrist
Kill the whole river
And it's case dismissed
It shouldn't be a crime to be poor
It shouldn't be a crime
It shouldn't be a crime to be poor
No no no
Poor folks go to prison
And rich folks get forgiven
It shouldn't be a crime to be poor
No no no
One of them's broke
And poor kid goes to prison
But the rich kid don't
It shouldn't be a crime to be poor
It shouldn't be a crime
It shouldn't be a crime to be poor
No no no
Poor folks go to prison
And rich folks get forgiven
It shouldn't be a crime to be poor
No no no
Steal a million dollars
You might pay a fine
Steal a pack of gum
And you will do hard time
It shouldn't be a crime to be poor
It shouldn't be a crime
It shouldn't be a crime to be poor
No no no
Poor folks go to prison
And rich folks get forgiven
It shouldn't be a crime to be poor
No no no
Don't matter if you're guilty
If you can't make the bail
You get that public lawyer
And you're going to jail
It shouldn't be a crime to be poor
It shouldn't be a crime
It shouldn't be a crime to be poor
No no no
Poor folks go to prison
And rich folks get forgiven
It shouldn't be a crime to be poor
No no no
Fish without a license
Get cuffs on your wrist
Kill the whole river
And it's case dismissed
It shouldn't be a crime to be poor
It shouldn't be a crime
It shouldn't be a crime to be poor
No no no
Poor folks go to prison
And rich folks get forgiven
It shouldn't be a crime to be poor
No no no
