Testo Mr. Welfare Man - Curtis Mayfield
Testo della canzone Mr. Welfare Man (Curtis Mayfield), tratta dall'album Give, Get, Take And Have (US Release)
Welfare! Welfare! Welfare
A Hard Sacrifice, I Wanna Testify
Stayin' A Lovin' Man
Society Gave Me No Choice, Tried To Silence My Voice
Put My Woman On The Welfare
I'm So Tired
I'm So Tired Of Tryin' To Prove My Equal Rights
Tho' I've Made Some Mistakes, For Goodness Sakes
Why You Wanna Keep Messin' Up My Life
Keep Away From Me, Mr. Welfare
Keep Away From Me. Keep Away. Keep Away
Mr. Welfare. Oo
Holdin' Me Back, Usin' Your Tact
To Make Me Live Against My Will
But That's How It Go. Wow! I Don't. Know
I Don't Believe This Life's For Real
Like The Private Eye For The F.b.i.
Just As Envious As The Ku Klux Klan
Tho' I'm Of Peasant Fate And I'm Tryin' To Escape
I've Got To Do Whatever I Think I Can
Keep Away From Me, Mr. Welfare
Didn't You Hear Me. Don't Come Near Me
Mr. Welfare! Mr. Welfare
They Wanna Say I'm A Lazy Man
But You Got To Understand, There's A Thing About My Pride
You Can't Make Me Move If There Ain't No Groove
'Cause It Eats Me All Up Inside. Oo
Welfare! Welfare
Just Another Day, Tryin' To Make A Way
But All I See Outside Of Me Is Crime
What Can I Do To Make It Through
Ain't Gonna Sell Nobody's Time
I Got A Woman True And A Baby Too
With A Love That Grows And Grows
Here Come The Bills, There Go The Thrills
And A Job. All Doors Are Closed
Keep Away From Me, Mr. Welfare! Mr. Welfare! Mr. Welfare
Keep Away From Me, Mr. Welfare Man
You Might Wanna Say I'm A Lazy Man
But You Got To Understand, There's A Thing About My Pride
You Can't Make Me Move If There Ain't No Groove
