HAND UP
THERE'S A LADY STANDING IN AN UNEMPLOYMENT LINE
SHE'S GOT A BABY IN HER ARMS
AND TWO TAGGING ALONG BEHIND
THE MAN SAYS THE WAGE
YOU CAN EARN WON'T EVEN PAY FOR YOUR DAYCARE
MA'AM YOU'D BE BETTER OFF ON WELFARE
SHE DON'T NEED A HAND OUT
SHE NEEDS A HAND UP
SOME SOLID GROUND WHERE SHE CAN STAND UP
FALLING DOWNS BEEN ROCKY AND ROUGH ENOUGH
SHE DON'T NEED A HAND OUT
SHE NEEDS A HAND UP
HE'S GOT A BOTTLE
HIDDEN IN A BAG THAT'S BROWN
IT'S NOT ENOUGH TO SWIM IN
BUT IT'S ENOUGH TO DROWN
HE DON'T NEED A LECTURE
OR SOME KIND OF SERMON ON THE MOUNT
HE JUST NEEDS A PLACE THAT'S SAFE
'TIL HE CAN LAY THAT BOTTLE DOWN
HE DON'T NEED A HAND OUT
HE NEEDS A HAND UP
SOME SOLID GROUND WHERE HE CAN STAND UP
FALLING DOWNS BEEN ROCKY AND ROUGH ENOUGH
HE DON'T NEED A HAND OUT
HE NEEDS A HAND UP
LIKE A RAY OF SUNSHINE
IN THE POURING RAIN
JOY JUNCTION IS AN AMAZING PLACE
(INSTRUMENTAL)
THEY DON'T NEED A HAND OUT
THEY NEED A HAND UP
SOME SOLID GROUND WHERE THEY CAN STAND UP
FALLING DOWNS BEEN ROCKY AND ROUGH ENOUGH
THEY DON'T NEED A HAND OUT
THEY NEED A HAND UP
THEY DON'T NEED A HAND OUT
THEY NEED A HAND UP
