[00:02.120]Written by：Michael Rutherford/Christopher Neil
[01:02.771]He's a poor boy in his pocket
[01:05.835]He's a poor boy in his shoes
[01:09.275]He's done his time
[01:10.857]He's stood in line
[01:12.379]That boy has paid his dues
[01:15.195]He ain't looking for a handout
[01:18.386]He's just looking for a start
[01:21.499]He don't hate anyone
[01:23.003]He don't carry a gun
[01:24.770]You can tell that kid is smart
[01:27.523]So you can't keep that poor boy down
[01:30.521]You can't keep that poor boy down

[01:40.840]Keep that poor boy down
[01:43.241]You can't keep that poor boy down
[01:46.601]You can lie and cheat
[01:47.985]You can chain his feet
[01:49.585]But you can't keep that poor boy down
[02:18.373]And all down throughout the ages
[02:21.470]The kid's been treated rough
[02:24.446]Just take a look
[02:25.678]In any history book
[02:27.318]You can see that times were tough
[02:30.525]Now we move up to the nineties
[02:34.002]Up to the 21st
[02:36.945]One day he'll stand
[02:38.442]A full grown man
[02:39.890]And be the same as all of us
[02:42.606]So you can't keep that poor boy down
[02:46.653]Keep that poor boy down
[02:49.478]You can lock him up
[02:50.782]You can break his cup
[02:52.143]But you can't keep that poor boy down
[02:56.119]Keep that poor boy down
[02:58.431]You can't keep that poor boy down
[03:01.787]You can fight and steal
[03:03.643]You can drag your heels
[03:05.062]You can't keep that poor boy down
[03:49.489]You can't keep that down
[03:52.209]You can kick his ass
[03:53.546]If the kid's got class
[03:55.148]You can't keep that poor boy down
[03:58.816]Keep that poor boy down

[04:05.099]Let's stop the truck
[04:06.509]Go back and pick him up
[04:08.273]Keep that poor boy down
[04:09.828]You can't keep them down
