[Verse 1]
There's a glow at the border
(Rose city on the 409)
But the city's been bled white
(White city on the 409)
And the doctor orders
(White city on the 409)
Drinks all night to see who throws up first
That feeling, much worse
Poor white
So I wait for the 14
(White city on the 409)
And I wait for the 409
(White city on the 409)
In a yesterdaydream
(White city on the 409)
On a nicotine high
I'll drag the sunset down
And paint this paling town
Poor white
So here he comes with a blank expression
Looking for me, 'cause he thinks I feel the same
But happiness pulls me, a lie to a rapture
Coming to buy a new sweat to feel the pain
Don't you dare disturb me
(White city on the 409)
While I'm balancing my past
(White city on the 409)
'Cause you can't even hurt me
(White city on the 409)
Like it already has
He didn't treat me right
But I'm not fucked, not quite
Poor white
Poor white
