Luxuries of Poverty

The first floor corner apartment on Francesca
Is silent for the first time this millennium
They wonder how after years of living with the noise
Of screaming dissatisfactions from life and boys
They keep living in the past
They can't seem to get it off their back

You can't stop now
And can't start it
How you gonna turn your world around?
It never stops, never stops

If you love us so much, why are you leaving?
Everyone in Hollywood's gone off the deep end
You're better off here with the family all together
Oh Bobby, I thought we raised you so much better

He can't keep living in the past
If he ever wants to get a piece of ass

You can't stop now
And can't start it
How you gonna turn your world around?

She's trying so hard to not knock you senseless
She prayed for so long how could she be against it?
The Luxuries of Poverty once brought them closer
But now she's cursing your name four times over
She keeps living in the past
Her hands are clenched, she's on the verge of violence

You can't stop now
And can't start it
How you gonna turn your world around?
It never stops, never stops
It never stops, never stops
It never stops
