lyrics

Well her mama went crazy and her daddy killed her dog now the world owes her a life living high on the hog, poor baby...poor baby...
poor baby nobody owes you a god-damn thing
She grew up poor and didn't have much, she goes through her life using her past as a crutch, poor baby...poor baby
poor baby all your friends they feel so sorry for you
Everybody has had hard times, baby you're not the only one
but I got no sympathy for you 'cause you have no compassion for anyone
Her heart is cement religion is resentment the world doesn't deserve the grace of her talent, poor baby...poor baby..
Poor baby nobody ever did anything for you
You cannot love her 'cause nobody ever did, she doesn't believe she's invested in it, poor baby...poor baby
Poor baby doesn't want anything she can't destroy
Funny how you're always the victim, funny how you've never done wrong
sometimes i'd like to wish you to hell but then i'd have to feel sorry for the devil...
She surrounds herself with sycophants, a friend is someone who tells her she's right, poor baby...poor baby...
poor baby you know you couldn't be more wrong
Like iron sulfide pretty on the surface, take it to the market it's pretty much worthless..poor baby...poor baby
poor baby your good looks are only gonna take ya so far...
