How Can A Poor Boy Lyrics - Keep It Simple - Van Morrison

Had my congregation, had my flock 

When I was a shepherd of men 

Chased the wild goose, chased the pot of gold 

Chased the rainbows end 

How can a poor boy deliver this message to you? 

How can a poor boy? You don't believe anything that's true 

Had my rise, had my downfall 

Now I'm gonna rise up again 

Had my degrees, my initiations 

Not speaking to the profane

How can a poor boy get this message to you? 

How can a poor boy when you don't believe a thing that's true? 

Alright. 

I've been anointed, been appointed 

Even been magnified 

Spied a chapel all of gold 

The priest was laying down with the swine 

How can a poor boy get a little message to you? 

How can a poor boy when you don't believe anything is true? 

How can a poor boy get this message through to you? 

How can a poor boy when you don't believe a single thing is true? 

Alright. 

Watch the illusion of false security 

Play of the shadows that move 

Tell me what evil lurks in the hearts of men 

Only the shadow knows 

How can a poor boy get this message to you? 

How can a poor boy when you don't believe a thing that's true, for you 

When you don't believe a thing, nothing that's true for you 

How can a poor boy ever get next to you?
