My first attempt at song writing.
kinda a blue-grassy song.... really bad, I know.... :blush:

I was born a poor daughter of a family of the earth,
And they earned their livin' doin' what the rich folks call filth,
They all stare and laugh as they pass by in their fancy cars,
But we don't care,
Because we are what we are.

I'm wearin' my older sisters dress with holes in the top,
My brother's wearin' dads old socks,
My mom is wearin' an apron made out of sack cloth,
And they all laugh as they pass by,
Wearin' silk and lace,
But we don't care,
'Cause we get our clothes from the best place.

I don't mind our situation,
Though we don't do any braggation,
We don't cause any indentation,
Because we are what we are.

1. I like!
With the "We don't cause any indentation" line, it's sorta an anti-"If I had a Hammer" kind of thing. :thumbsup:

Man, I hate THAT song. :D
