Lyrics

Give the poppy to the poor people
Give the poppy to the poor people
Do it with a blunderbuss
A little knowledge can be dangerous
Give the poppy to the poor people
Give the poppy to the poor people
And it doesn’t matter what you say

Poor people, they just love to get high
Poor people getting high
Poor people
Life is just a lottery
For the poor people
Set them free

Give the poppy to the poor people
Give the poppy to the poor people
They are proud and they are strong
So come on and drop the bomb

You’ve got to give the poppy to the poor people
Give the poppy to the poor people
And it doesn’t matter what you say

Poor people, they just love to get high
Poor people getting high
Poor people
Life is just a lottery
For the poor people
Set them free

Set them free
