Poor Kids - Matthew Logan Vasquez

Tin houses on my lawn

My fortress built so strong

Back in the '90s it was all ahead of you

Bankrupt embarrassment, the whole neighbourhood knew

It’s what poor kids do growing up too fast

Too proud to learn their rules

Misfits and a rich kid school

Not sure what I needed but I found it in the church

I liked the music but I didn’t like the word

It’s what poor kids do growing up too fast

It’s what poor kids do growing up too fast

I graduated but you asked me to the dance

I barely knew you but I thought I’d take that chance

After the party, you put my hand up your shirt

We both weren’t ready, so both of us got hurt

It’s what poor kids do growing up too fast

It’s what poor kids do growing up too fast
