Welfare Line |
| I get up early in the morning |
| I’ll be standin' at the welfare line |
| I get up early in the morning |
| Lord, I’ll be standin' at that welfare line |
| I keep talkin' to my case worker |
| But the governor don’t seem to pay me no mind |
| Lord, tell me what can I do? |
| I see people ridin' in Cadilacs |
| My … seems like they’re doin' alright |
| I see people ridin' in big Cadilacs |
| My … seems like they’re doin' alright |
| But I wanna know |
| Oh Lord, I need some food to make it through the night |
| Everybody says it’s gonna be alright after a while |
| I can’t see |
| I’m moaning the blues |
| Lord, they say it’s gonna be alright after a while |
| I can’t feet my own like a baby child |
| I see my caseworker |
| Along the fourth time |
| But for the next three years and a half and forty-four |
| She don’t pay no mind |
| It seems like politics |
| Politics, politics in a world of sin |
| (that's why) early in the morning |
| I’ll be standin' at that welfare line |
| Early in the morning |
| It don’t have to be Monday |
| Any day I do |
| I keep talkin' to my case worker |
| But the governor don’t seem to pay me no mind |
| Oh, I don’t know what I’m gonna do |
