Genre: rock | Year: 1979

[Intro]
Woah, ye-yeah
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
Uh-uh-uh-uh-uh (Hu)

[Refrain]
Poverty is the biggest crime in this time (Yes)
So, I've got to tell you everything I've got inside

[Verse 1]
Hail, mister Fosley, now I man is a sufferer
Have you ever take a little trip in a China? (And see)
The people, they are layin' on the street (Uh)
Can't get no place to rest or to lay their heads
All that I see, it's poverty (Oh-oh, yeah; yeah!)

[Bridge]
Yeah; it's poverty in I an' I life (Yes)
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah (Hu)
Uh-uh-uh-uh-uh (So)
[Verse 2]
Have you еver take a little trip into thе ghetto?
When the rain falls, it come through my roof an' my window (Yes)
We lift the shackle of my hand
Lift the chain of my feet
But, all I ever seen is just poverty (Yes)

[Refrain]
Poverty is the biggest crime in this time (Uh, right)
So, I've got to tell you everything I've got on my mind (Yes)
Poverty is the biggest crime in this time
All I see, it's all the time (Hu)

[Bridge]
Woah, yeah-yeah
It's a poverty (Everywhere)
Uh, right (Poverty, poverty, poverty)
Yeah, ye-yeah; yeah (Uh-uh)

[Outro]
Hail, mister Fosley, now I man is a sufferer
Have you ever take a little trip in a Africa? (And-a see)
