Living on Government hand-outs |
|
Water in the milk from a hole in the roof |
|
Where the rain comes through |
|
What can you do? You can't move |
|
You got tears from your little sister |
|
Crying 'cause she don't have a dress |
|
Without a patch in for the party to go |
|
Aw, but you know she'll get by 'cause she's |
|
Living in the love of the common people |
|
Smiles through the heart of the family man |
|
Poppa's gonna buy you a dream to cling to |
|
Momma's gonna love you just |
|
As much as she can and she can |
|
It's a good think you don't have bus fares |
|
They would fall through a hold in you pocket |
|
And you'd lose 'em in the snow on the ground |
|
You gotta walk into town to get a job |
|
Trying to keep yourself warm |
|
But the hole in your shoe lets the snow comes through |
|
And chills you to the bone |
|
So you better go home where it's warm and you can |
|
Living in the love of the common people |
|
Smiles through the heart of the family man |
|
Poppa's gonna buy you a dream to cling to |
|
Momma's gonna love you just |
|
As much as she can and she can |
|
Living on dreams ain't easy |
