We've taken all you've given
But 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 going

Maybe you're cheap, maybe you're lyin'
Maybe you have lost your mind

Maybe you only think about yourself
Too late to run, too late to cry now
The time has come for us to say good-bye now
