Lyrics Charity, Chastity, Prudence, and Hope - Hüsker Dü

Charity, Chastity, Prudence, and Hope

She gave her little child a name
A ward of welfare she became
And then one day she met a man
Digging through the trash for cans
Charity, chastity, prudence, and hope
It was his aluminum
That attracted her to him
And quite a day there did unfold
Turning garbage into gold
Charity, chastity, prudence, and hope
She took that money in a trunk
And bought a bunch of worthless junk
And now they’re back where they began
Digging through the trash for cans
Charity, chastity, prudence, and hope
