Don'T Talk To Me

Don't talk to me of your life's uphill battle For life's struggles i ought to know about 'Twas want and need that forced me from the Northlands And I'm no better off here in the South. Don't talk to me of your sad lack of money Since all i can offer you is sympathy But remember there are many millions like you Who live quite close to or in poverty. Don't talk to me about your hard luck stories Since i know that life has been so hard on you But having said that you ought to remember That others have their hard luck stories too. Don't talk to me of your low social status Of how the well to do on you because of your address look down Remember you are not the only person Who has been born on the wrong side of the Town. Don't talk to me about your sad existence I can't help you though you seem poorer than i And remember there are millions worse off than you And by life they too have been hard done by.
