They Don't Like

They don't like to hear poor people express their feelings
They don't like to hear poor people express their anger
They don't like to hear poor people express their frustration
They just laugh at I lamentation

You never walk a mile in my shoes
I say you know nothing about the blues
You never walk a mile in my shoes
I say you know nothing about the blues

From the day that you were born
Your breakfast table well pretty
I an I own filled with poverty
Under the spell of your society

They don't like to hear poor people express their feelings
They don't like to hear poor people express their anger
They don't like to hear poor people express their frustration
They just laugh at I lamentation, yeah
They don't like
(Solo)

In your world of so called die-mocracy
I am suppressed by your evil mentality
In your world of so called die-mocracy
I am suppressed by your evil mentality

Never get a chance to build my own independence
Never get a chance to build my own environments
Never get a chance to build my own independence 
Never get a chance to build my own environment, yeah

They don't like to hear poor people express their feelings
They don't like to hear poor people express their anger
They don't like to hear poor people express their frustration
They just laugh at I lamentation, yes

They don't like to hear I cry out now, now
They don't like to hear my frustration
They don't like to hear I cry out now, now
They don't like to hear my frustration
They don't like
