Songs of the Financially Embarrassed

[Mouth]

Migrating for a better life only to become working poor. Funny how the playbook doesn't change too much.

Why would it be embarrassing to be poor? It puts you squarely in the majority.

That would be a HUGE majority. Never have so few had so much and so many had so little.

I've heard of an embarrassment of riches, but never the opposite.

Otis Rush- Double Trouble

“lay awake at night
Can't sleep just so troubled
It's hard to keep a job
Laid off and havin' double trouble

Hey, they say you can make it if you try
Yes, in this generation of millionaires
It's hard for me to keep decent clothes to wear
You laughed at me walkin' baby, when I had no place to go

Bad luck and trouble have taken me
I have got no money to show
Hey, hey, to make it
You've got to try, baby, that's no lie”
