"Rags To Riches" lyrics

I ain't got a pound for a round
And a round costs more than a pound
I ain't got a dime for your time
And you're wasting mine
I ain't got a cent for my rent
It's all been spent
I ain't got a pot and I need a piss
How has it come to this?

I'm all dressed up with nowhere to go
Glad rags finally making a show
I'm all messed up and I'm on my own
Glad rags melting my heart of stone

I ain't got no shame when they came
I'm not to blame
I ain't got no fear that they're here
I won't shed a tear
I ain't got no doubt I gotta find out
What it's all about
I worked all hours, what was it for?
They're banging on my door

I'm all dressed up with nowhere to go
Glad rags finally making a show
I'm all messed up and I'm on my own
Glad rags melting my heart of stone
I think you must be missing a trick
If you can get blood out of a brick
I won't run and I won't hide
Glad rags giving me a sense of pride

Caught short, no thought at all
Stitched up, no luck and I feel a fool
I'll go down fighting 'til the end
The cost of living leaves people dying
Put us down but we won't stop trying
Rags to riches but then back again

You gave me a pound for the bar
But a pound don't go that far
I'd give it a shot but I'd miss
When did it come to this?

I'm all dressed up with nowhere to go
Glad rags finally making a show
I'm all messed up and I'm on my own
Glad rags melting my heart of stone
I think you must be missing a trick
If you can get blood out of a brick
I won't run and I won't hide
Glad rags giving me a sense of pride

Caught short, no thought at all
Stitched up, no luck and I feel a fool
I'll go down fighting 'til the end
The cost of living leaves people dying
Put us down but we won't stop trying
Rags to riches but then back again

Rags to riches but then back again
Rags to riches but then back again
Rags to riches but then back again
Rags to riches but then back again
