Feel No Pain |
Mamma been laid off |
Pappa been laid off |
My brother’s been laid off |
For more than two years now |
Ooh can’t get a job |
Billy can’t get a job |
They gotta listen to the blues |
Help them to strive |
Help them to move on |
Help them to have some future |
Help them to live long |
Help them to live life |
Help them to smile |
Don’t let them stay home |
And listen to the blues |
Pappa been laid off |
Mamma been laid off |
Billy can’t get a job |
For too long, too long |
Don’t let them lose |
We gotta give them a chance |
It’s gonna come back on everyone |
If you don’t make them dance |
Don’t let them stay home |
And listen to the blues |
There’s nothing sacred |
Breathing hatred |
We have to face it |
No one can take it |
And feel no pain |
Mamma been laid off |
Pappa been laid off |
My brother’s been laid off |
For more than two years now |
Ooh, can’t get a job |
Billy can’t get a job |
Ooh, they gotta listen to the blues |
Help them to strive |
Help them to move on |
Help them to have some future |
Help them to live long |
Help them to live life |
Help them to smile |
Don’t let them stay home |
And listen to the blues |
One day we’re gonna wake up |
And the ghetto’s all around |
All over, my friend |
Have you ever seen a man break down? |
Do you know how, how that feels? |
To walk the streets |
With your head held high |
Oh Lord, have mercy |
Did you ever see a man break down? |
There’s nothing sacred |
Breathing hatred |
We have to face it |
No one can take it |
And feel no pain |
Ooh, did you ever see a man break down? |
