Lyrics The Hurt Is On - O.V. Wright

The Hurt Is On

Hurt is on
Stronger than strong, now
The food stamp line
Loaded longer than long, now
Two hundred thousand people
Lost their jobs last week
Somebody please tell me
How they’re gonna make ends meet
Prices going higher (Higher and higher)
All over the nation
People every day now
Living in starvation
Oh, oh, oh, the heavens
(Hurt is on)
Down to the bone
(Down to the bone)
Home after home
(Home after home)
Its the same sad song
(Its the same sad song)
The whole human race
Seems like a house to strangers
Even in your own home
You’re still in danger
(Danger)
If we’re gonna stop (Stop, stop)
All this pain and hurt
(Hurt)
We need more love
All over this earth
All over earth
Stronger than strong, now
(Stronger than strong)
Down to the bone
(Down to the bone)
Lord, it make me wanna moan
Ooo-ooh
(Hurt, hurt, hurt, hurt, hurt, hurt, hurt, hurt, hurt, hurt, hurt, hurt is on)
Down to the bone
(Down to the bone)
It makes me wanna moan
(Mmmm)
Its stronger than strong
(Stronger than strong)
Even got the rich man
Squeezing dimes
The move is start to walking
The unemployment line
Hurt is on
Oh, the hurt is on
(The hurt is on)
Hurt is on
Whoo, the hurt is on
(Hurt is o-oo-oonn, the hurt is on)
(Hurt is o-oo-oonn, the hurt is on)
Even the days
Have come to pass
Where the millionaires
Pumping their own gas
I’m talking 'bout the hurt (hurt)
Oh, I’m talking 'bout the hurt (hurt)
Oh, the hurt, hurt, hurt
Hurt is on
I can hardly eat
When I buy a little bread
Can’t even buy no meat
Oh, the hurt is on
Down to the bone, now
The food stamp line
Is longer than long
My family’s suffering
Oh, my babies crying
Is it getting harder
I’m gonna have to join the line
Hah, the hurt is on (oo-oo-oon)
Hurt is on
(Hurt, hurt, hurt, hurt)
The hurt is on
Good God Almighty
(The hurt is on)
