Lyrics Turn Its Back On You - Freddie King

Turn Its Back On You

Now what you gonna do, when the welfare turn its back on you?
Yeah what you gonna do, when the welfare turn its back on you
Yeah, you be standin' there stranded, there’s ain’t a thing that you can do
Now you look all through your house, yes, you can’t find a piece of bread
Yeah you look all through your house, yeah, you can’t find a piece of bread
Sometime you begin to wonder, if you be better off dead
You go down to the welfare
Ev’ry month a report
An' some of the thing they sellin' you
Will surely get your goat
If you tell 'em you sick
You better have a bad cough
Because if you don’t
They be ready to throw you off
What you gonna do, when the welfare turns its back on you?
Yeah you be standin' there stranded
Yeah there ain’t a thing that you can do
