How Can A Poor Boy?

(앨범: Duets: Re-Working The Catalogue - 2015)

Had my congregation, had my flock
When I was a shepherd of men
I chased the wild goose, chased the pot of gold
Chased the rainbow's end

How can a poor boy get this message to you?
How can a poor boy? You don't believe anything that's true

Had my rise, had my downfall
Now I'm gonna rise up again
You know I had my degrees, had my initiations
Not speaking to the profane

How can a poor boy get this message to you?
How can a poor boy when you don't believe a thing that's true?

I've been anointed, I've been appointed
Even been magnified
Well you know I've spied a chapel all of gold
The priest was laying down with the swine

How can a poor boy get this message to you?
How can a poor boy when you don't believe anything is true?

Watch the illusion of false security
Play of the shadows that move
Tell me what evil lurks in the hearts of men
Only the shadow knows

How can a poor boy get this message to you?
How can a poor boy when you don't believe a thing that's true, no no
How can a poor boy get this through to you?
How can a poor boy get this message to you?
How can a poor boy ever get through to you?
Get through to you, get through to you
