Poor people are poor people &82[Esus4]32;
And they don't understand&823[E7]2;
A man's got to make whatever he wants&8232;
And take it with his own hands.&8232;

Poor people stay poor people
And they never get to see&8232[E7];
Someone's got to win in the human race
If it isn't you, then it has to be me.&8232;

So smile while you're makin' it
Laugh while you're takin' it
Even though you're fakin' it
Nobody's gonna know.& 8232;
Nobody's gonna know.& 8232;
No use mumbling.&8232;
It's no use grumbling.&8232;
Life just isn't fair
There's no easy days&8232;
There's no easy ways&8232;
Just get out there and do it!&8232;
&8232;
And sing and they'll sing your song&8232;
&8232;
Laugh while you're getting on&8232;
&8232;
Smile and they'll string along
And nobody's gonna know.&8232;
Nobody's gonna know.&8232;
Nobody's gonna know.&8232;
And nobody's gonna know.
