[Intro]
Fm C
Fm C
 
 
[Chorus]
FmIf you worked a little harder
CThen you'd have a lot more
FmSo the blame and the shame's on you
CFor being so damn poor
 
 
[Verse]
FmIt ain't the price gouging
CAnd it ain't the inflation
FmIt ain't everyone above ya
 
Tryna make a buck from ya
CAnd screwin' the whole congregation
 
FmI had that reduced lunch
CI had the benefit cards
FmIt never occured to me
 
To blame my family
CFor life being so damn hard
 
 
[Verse]
FmI sholda payed attention
CBack when I was in school
FmThen I could figure up the tax
 
I would know a lotta facts
CI missed the class
 
Where they taught the rules
 
FmI was memorizing capitols
CI was in the spelling bee
FmI musta skipped the part
 
Where they taught the art
COf private equity
 
FmI was selling chocolate bars
CI had a disorder
FmI was cuttin' up a frog
 
Got lost in the fog
CLearnin' how to play recorder
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
Fm C Fm CIf you only worked a little harder
F CIf you worked a little harder, ha ha
F CIf you worked a little harder, ha ha
 
 
[Chorus]
FmIf you worked a little harder
CThen you'd have a lot more
FmSo the shame and the blame's on you
CFor being so damn poor
 
 
[Verse]
FmIt ain't the banks
CAnd it ain't the taxes
FmIt ain't the payday loans
 
And high rent homes
CAnd predatory fees and practices
 
FmWave yer dumb flag
CWhatever it means
FmBut you should ask yourself
 
When it comes to health
CAre the poor really all that free?
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
F CIf you worked a little harder, ha ha
F CIf you worked a little harder, ha ha
 
 
[Chorus]
FmIf you worked a little harder
CYou'd have a lot more
FmSo the blame and the shame's on you
CFor being so damn poor
