Jimmy Got Nothing Made Himself A Name
|
With a gun that he polished for a rainy day
|
A smite 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 bare to see her living hand to mouth
|
Hand to mouth, hand to mouth, hand to mouth
|
|
I believe in the gods of america
|
I believe in the land of the free
|
But no one told me
|
(no one told me)
|
That the gods believe in nothing
|
So with empty hands i pray
|
And from day to hopeless day
|
They still don't see me
|
(see me)
|
|
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
|
"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"
|
Has to give a little for the dollars that we get
|
Has to give a little -
|
They say it's for the best
|
Somebody shouted
|
Maybe
|
But they kept on living from 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
|
(someone told me)
|
That the gods believe in nothing
|
So with empty hands i pray
|
And i tell myself
|
One day
|
They just might see me
|
