Well I get into the game, but it's always the same I'm the man with the name, Hip Eponymous Poor Boy, boy Call me whatever you may, I ain't stoppin' the train I got a pill for the pain, Hip Eponymous Poor Boy, boy
And I know that I can't defeat you Yea, you don't worry now, I ain't going to preach to you Well, there you go But I'll be going right there with you Yeah wherever you'll be, you'll be lookin' at me
But don't get out of your chair Put a bow in your hair, you might be makin' 'em stare So leave the care to the poor boy, the poor boy And that's the name of the game Keep on stayin' the same, ain't nobody to blame Nobody but the poor boy, the poor boy
Well okay, so you feel asleep today What's funny to me though is that you did that yesterday You must think I'm mad To do all the things that I don't need to do But while you're laughin' at me, well I'll be laughin' at you
So I get into the game, but always keep it the same And I'll be usin' your name, but they'll be yellin' at me "Poor boy, poor boy" But I'll be happy for you, cause you got nothin' to do And I'll be singin' the blues, walkin' around singin' "Poor boy, poor boy"
Sometimes a cold shiver comes over me And it turns me on when the song takes over me But alright, I can't fight if the odds are against me But I can't sit still Because I know that I will
And you'll be watching me girl, takin' over the world Let the stripes unfurl, gettin' rich singin' "Poor boy, poor boy" And I'll be comin' to play, I do it every day And the title will stay, Hip Eponymous Poor Boy, poor boy (Yeah)
