Jimmy got nothing made himself a name
With a gun that he polished for a rainy day
A smile and a quote from a vigilante movie
Our boy jimmy just blew them all away
He said it made him crazy
Twenty five years living hand to mouth
Hand to mouth, hand to mouth, hand to mouth
Sweet little baby on a big white doorstep
She needs her mother but her mother is dead
Just another hooker that the lucky can forget
Just another hooker
It happens everyday
She loved her little baby
But she couldn't bear to see her living hand to mouth
Hand to mouth, hand to mouth, hand to mouth
She believed in the gods of America
She believed in the land of the free
But no one told her
That the gods believe in nothing
So with empty hands she prayed
And from day to hopeless day
They still don't see her
Everybody talks about the new generation
Jump on the wagon or they'll leave you behind
But no one gave a thought to the rest of the nation
I'd like to help you buddy, but I haven't got the time
Somebody shouted save me
But everybody started living hand to mouth
Hand to mouth, hand to mouth, hand to mouth
There's a big white lady
On a big white doorstep
She asked her daddy and her daddy said yes
Have to give a little for the dollars that we get
Have to give a little -
They say it's for the best
Somebody shouted
Maybe
But they keep on living from her hand to mouth
Hand to mouth, hand to mouth, hand to mouth
So she ran to the arms of America
And she kissed the powers that be
And someone told me
That the gods believe in nothing
So with empty arms I pray
And I tell myself
One day
They just might see me...
