Biografia:
Rheostatics are a Canadian indie rock band. Although they had only one Top 40 hit (Claire in 1995), they were simultaneously one of Canada's most influential and most unconventional rock bands in the 1990s, a band whose defiantly quirky, yet compelling, take on pop and rock music has been described both as iconic and iconoclastic.
They played their farewell concert to a sold-out house at Toronto's Massey Hall on March 30, 2007. Sound board recordings of that and many other shows are available (with permission) at http://rheostaticslive.

BAD TIME TO BE POOR
by Tim Vesely
Capo I
A Asus4 A Em A Em A Em A Em A
A Em A
It is a bad time to be poor,
Em A
'Cause we don't give a shit no more.
Em A
If you want to go for help, don't look next door.
Em A Asus4 A Em A
The line's been drawn and staked outside.
Em A
I see to trying to lay the blame
Em A
On the folks in charge who hide in shame
Em A
For growing up with an open purse,
Em A Ab5
And learning not about being alive.
G Em Dm A Ab5
Haven't I done enough to burn out?
G Em Dm A Asus4 A
Haven't I been there to help out?
Em A Asus4 A Em
A Asus4 A Em A Asus4 A Em A
Em A
It is a bad time to be young.
Em A
What's left to us can't be undone
Em A
Without it riding on our backs
Em A
When young and poor go hand in hand.
Em A
It is a bad time to be poor
Em A
It's a bad time to be poor.
(chorus)
[Bridge]
A G#5 Dm A G#5 Dm
A Asus4 A Em
Em A
It is a bad time to be poor
Em A
It is a bad time to be poor
Em Dm A Asus4
A
And feeling winter through a crack in the door.
