lirik lagu jimmy dawkins - welfare line
welfare line
i get up early in the morning,
i’ll be standin’ at the welfare line.
i get up early in the morning,
lord, i’ll be standin’ at that welfare line.
i keep talkin’ to my case worker,
but the governor don’t seem to pay me no mind,
lord, tell me what can i do?
i see people ridin’ in cadilacs,
my … seems like they’re doin’ alright
i see people ridin’ in big cadilacs,
my … seems like they’re doin’ alright.
but i wanna know,
oh lord, i need some food to make it through the night.
everybody says it’s gonna be alright after a while,
i can’t see,
i’m moaning the blues,
lord, they say it’s gonna be alright after a while,
i can’t feet my own like a baby child.
i see my caseworker,
along the fourth time,
but for the next three years and a half and forty-four
she don’t pay no mind.
it seems like politics,
politics, politics in a world of sin.
(that’s why) early in the morning,
i’ll be standin’ at that welfare line.
early in the morning,
it don’t have to be monday,
any day i do,
i keep talkin’ to my case worker,
but the governor don’t seem to pay me no mind.
oh, i don’t know what i’m gonna do.
