lyrics

Poor rich kid, with stains up and down his shirt
He ain't got no change of clothes
And he don't care so much about no CNN, no NPR, no news station
Or political show
He bite the dog, when he wake up
Cause his day filled with nothing to do
Take a walk on down to find the man
That will give him the fix that will see him through

Hey man, it ain't that bad
You know it ain't that bad
I got a new suit for you, when you're ready friend
You know you can stand up
Any time you want
Try this on, see how it fits you, to live again

In the morning, poor rich kid's family calls
To see if everything's ok
Landlord barges in, looking for the rent
Only finds a stack of bills unpaid
Nobody knows where you went, nobody knows how your spent
Every cent that was put in your name
You're on some southbound bus, gone and widowed all the rest of us
But didn't pack no change of clothes

Hey man, it ain't that bad
You know it really ain't that bad
Got a new suit for you, when you're ready friend
You know you can stand up
Anytime you want
Try this on see how it fits you

You say this weight is too much to bear
And there's no love out there for you
But if you, throw off those rags you always wear
You'll see there's more love, than you ever really knew.

Hey man, it ain't that bad
You know it ain't that bad
I got a new suit for you, when you're ready friend
You know you can stand up, anytime you want
Try this on, see how it fits you, to live again

And it don't matter where you come from
Don't matter who you are
Don't matter about your income
Or if you drive a big fat car
Don't matter about your skin
Or the clothes you're right now in
All you need is a change of clothes.
