If poverty's just an insecurity
therapy might cure it.

and that's the sort of ****
we get,
but we get used to it.

'trying to raise some cash and get a hostel bed?'
more likely buying hash or crack or ****** instead,

I don't pin my hopes on homeless soaks
or drug induced narcosis.

and anyway the wage is set at
minimum whichΒ is just a way to say
that we're not worth it,
and that's the sort of **** we get
but we get used to it
