Story behind the song
This song was written years before the current global economic meltdown. We can thank greed in high places, for allowing corporate lobbyists to brazenly side-step any semblance of a democratic process. The intent of this song is not to indulge in angst & depression, from obsessing about things that we have no control of. For the 99% of the planet's population who can identify with falling into the "Dirt Poor Crazy People" category; our only real option is to meditate on our real relationship to life. May you gravitate towards the personal serenity that comes from cultivating humor & detachment. Savor the little victories in your day.
Lyrics
DIRT POOR CRAZY PEOPLE lyric & music by Derek Stephen McPhail YOU COULD HURDLE EVERY SUNBEAM LIKE DANCERS DAYDREAM... & END UP JUST THE SAME DIRT POOR CRAZY PEOPLE.... YOU COULD ALWAYS BE RIGHT EVEN WIN EVERY FIGHT... & STILL BE DIRT POOR CRAZY PEOPLE... COULD YOU EVER LIVE FOREVER JUST BECAUSE YOU WILL IT SO... WILL GOD FORGIVE YOU LIKE YOUR FRIENDS DO OR, DOES HE EVEN KNOW... SET YOURSELF UP FOR A FALL BUT, DOES THAT MEAN YOU WON’T... ARE THE PLANS YOU THOUGHT YOU BOUGHT FOR RENT OR OUT ON LOAN... YOU COULD HAVE EVERYTHING YOU SEE EXPLAIN EVERY MYSTERY... & FIND YOURSELF DIRT POOR CRAZY PEOPLE... YOU COULD HAVE EVERY SUCCESS ELIMINATE ALL STRESS... & STILL BE DIRT POOR CRAZY PEOPLE... YOU COULD KEEP ON KEEPING ON YOUR PATHWAY TO THE SUN... & NOT MIND BEING DIRT POOR CRAZY PEOPLE... YOU COULD THINK HAPPY THOUGHTS LIVE WITH WHAT YOU GOT... SO WHAT IF YOU ARE DIRT POOR CRAZY PEOPLE...
