Hand To Mouth |
Jimmy got nothing made himself a name |
With a gun that he polished for a rainy day |
A smile and a quote from a vigilante movie |
Our boy jimmy just blew them all away |
He said it made him crazy |
Twenty five years living hand to mouth |
Hand to mouth, hand to mouth, hand to mouth |
Sweet little baby on a big white doorstep |
She needs her mother but her mother is dead |
Just another hooker that the lucky can forget |
Just another hooker |
It happens everyday |
She loved her little baby |
But she couldn’t bear to see her living hand to mouth |
Hand to mouth, hand to mouth, hand to mouth |
She believed in the gods of America |
She believed in the land of the free |
But no one told her |
That the gods believe in nothing |
So with empty hands she prayed |
And from day to hopeless day |
They still don’t see her |
Everybody talks about the new generation |
Jump on the wagon or they’ll leave you behind |
But no one gave a thought to the rest of the nation |
I’d like to help you buddy, but I haven’t got the time |
Somebody shouted save me |
But everybody started living hand to mouth |
Hand to mouth, hand to mouth, hand to mouth |
There’s a big white lady |
On a big white doorstep |
She asked her daddy and her daddy said yes |
Have to give a little for the dollars that we get |
Have to give a little — |
They say it’s for the best |
Somebody shouted |
Maybe |
But they keep on living from her hand to mouth |
Hand to mouth, hand to mouth, hand to mouth |
So she ran to the arms of America |
And she kissed the powers that be |
And someone told me |
That the gods believe in nothing |
So with empty arms I pray |
And I tell myself |
One day |
They just might see me… |
