Mama been let up, papa been let up,
|
My brother¡¯s been let up, for more than 2 years now.
|
Who can¡¯t get a job, Billie can¡¯t get a job, no.
|
They gotta listen to the blues.
|
|
Help them to strike, help them to move on,
|
Help them to have some future, help them to live along.
|
Help them to live the life, help them to smile,
|
Don¡¯t let them stay home and listen to the blues.
|
|
Papa been let up, mama been let up,
|
Billie can¡¯t get a job for too long, too long.
|
|
Don¡¯t let them lose, we gotta give them a chance,
|
There¡¯s gonna come back on everyone if we don¡¯t let them dance.
|
But don¡¯t let them stay home and listen to the blues.
|
|
There¡¯s nothing sacred, greed and hatred
|
And feel no pain.
|
We have to face it, no one can take it
|
And feel no pain.

|
|
One day we¡¯re gonna wake up with ghettos all around
|
All over, my friends, have you ever seen a man way down?
|
|
Do you know how it 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, greed and hatred
|
And feel no pain.
|
We have to face it, no one can take it
|
And feel no pain.
|
|
Did you ever see a man break down?
