Lyrics
WE GOT THE VOICE from Peter John They got the money. We got the people. They got the options. We got the choice. They got an attitude. We gotta fix it. They got the microphone. We got the voice. You ain’t gotta be poor But-chya gotta be a whore Livin’ hand to mouth. Take whatever work you find Money swallowin’ your mind and dreams When the leaves are on the ground And the Winter’s comin’ round Livin’ hand to mouth Even if you own a home With an underwater loan you fear How soon it could disappear. They got the money. We got the people. They got the options. We got the choice. They got an attitude. We gotta fix it. They got the microphone. We got the voice. Every month you still debate What to pay and send in late Livin’ hand to mouth. You may think you’re middle class But they’re cuttin’ off your gas Today! Never boom and always bust Haulin’ iron, sweatin’ rust Livin’ hand to mouth. You got nothin’ left to save Nothin’ but an early grave to choose When life’s all you got to lose. They got the money. We got the people. They got the options. We got the choice. They got an attitude. We gotta fix it. They got the microphone. We got the voice. So get your A' in gear. © 2013 Peter John Stone All Rights Reserved Twiiter: @PeterJohn411
