Τραγούδια για τη φτώχεια

We've taken all you've given
It's gettin' hard to make a livin'

Mr. President, have pity on the working man
We ain't asking you to love us
You may place yourself high above us
Mr. President, have pity on the working man

I know it may sound funny
But people ev'ry where are runnin' out of money
We just can't make it by ourself
It is cold and the wind is blowing
We need something to keep us gong

Mr. President, have pity on the working man

[georgebi]

I ain't got no home, I'm just a-roamin' 'round,
Just a wandrin' worker, I go from town to town.
And the police make it hard wherever I may go
And I ain't got no home in this world anymore.

My brothers and my sisters are stranded on this road,
A hot and dusty road that a million feet have trod;
Rich man took my home and drove me from my door
And I ain't got no home in this world anymore.

Νομίζω και το unforgiven μιλάει για τη φτώχεια

[georgebi]

He lived on the outside of town
Hollis Brown
He lived on the outside of town
With his wife and five children
And his cabin fallin' down

You looked for work and money
And you walked a ragged mile
You looked for work and money
And you walked a ragged mile
Your children are so hungry
That they don't know how to smile

[georgebi]

When we have nothing left to give
There will be no reason for us to live
But when we have nothing left to lose
You will have nothing left to use
We owe you nothing
You have no control

[georgebi]

Poor people gonna rise up
and get their share
Poor people gonna rise up
and take what's theirs

[ΛΑΘΕ ΒΙΩΣΑΣ]

[georgebi]

Once upon a time you dressed so fine
Threw the bums a dime in your prime, didn't you?

Now you don't talk so loud
Now you don't seem so proud
About having to be scrounging your next meal

How does it feel, how does it feel?
To be without a home
Like a complete unknown, like a rolling stone

When you ain't got nothing, you got nothing to lose
You're invisible now, you've got no secrets to conceal

How does it feel, ah how does it feel?
To be on your own, with no direction home
Like a complete unknown, like a rolling stone

[georgebi]

As the snow flies
On a cold and gray Chicago mornin'
A poor little baby child is born
And his mama cries
'Cause if there's one thing that she don't need
It is another hungry mouth to feed

[georgebi]

A boy is born in hard time Mississippi
Surrounded by four walls that ain't so pretty

His father works some days for fourteen hours
And you can bet, he barely makes a dollar
His mother goes to scrub the floors for many
And you'd best believe, she hardly gets a penny

Living just enough, just enough for the city

There's a crack up in the ceiling
And the kitchen sink is leaking
Out of work and got no money
A Sunday joint of bread and honey

What are we living for?
Two-roomed apartment on the second floor
No money coming in
The rent collector's knocking, tryna get in
