PMP prides themselves on being a small town, independent band. In every aspect of their music including song writing, recording, mixing, and producing, from end to end, in-house. Some of PMP’s accomplishments include playing for their American troops stationed in Guantanamo Bay (GTMO). Then winning the title, “Best New Act In Country Music” on the nationally broadcasted show, “Texaco Country Showdown” in early 2013 at the famous Ryman Auditorium and home of the “Grand Ole Opry" in Nashville.
After a long hiatus from 2014-2019 PMP began releasing new music with the song “Hell’s Comin’ With Me”. In 2022, “Hell’s Comin’ With Me” made its way onto many streaming charts including getting as high as #2 on the global viral charts, just under Kate Bush’s “Running Up That Hill”.

Poor Mans Poison Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Somehow they found us out (they found us out)
No sudden moves, don′t make a sound
They're out for blood this time around
We gotta burn it all down
Today's the day
Revolution′s on its way (our time is now)
Give and take
Only works when both sides really
Give and take
The revolution's on its way
Look around, what do you know?
This whole damn place is about to blow
Look around, what do you see?
I see the wolves at bay coming after me
Woah, oh-oh-oh, get ready for the war
They′re comin' now
Yeah, they′re right outside the door
They tried to hold us down (tried to hold us down)
But they can't control us now (can′t control us, ooh)
Today's the day
Revolution's on its way (our time is now)
Hold the line, this is how we′ll be defined (just stand your ground)
Give and take
Only works when both sides really
Give and take
The revolution′s on its way
Look around, what do you know?
This whole damn place is about to blow
Look around, what do you see?
I see the wolves at bay coming after me
Woah, oh-oh-oh, get ready for the war
They're comin′ now
Yeah, they're right outside the door
Break us down more
They want it all (they want it all)
They′re gonna try to take us all
They wanna see us fall
Get ready for the war

The lyrics in "Give and Take" by Poor Man's Poison depict the idea of a revolution. In the first verse, the singers talk about being pursued by those who want to harm them. These people are "out for blood" and they need to be taken down. The chorus seems to be a rallying cry for those involved in the revolution. It talks about how "Give and take/Only works when both sides really" and how "The revolution's on its way." The second verse goes on to say that everyone needs to be ready for the war because there is no other option. The bridge repeats the warning to get ready for the war and finishes with the repeated line of "They're comin' now, yeah, they're right outside the door."
