bob bovee – hallelujah i’m a bum (live / 1984) lyrics
well why don’t you work
like the other men do
well how can i work
when there’s no work to do
hallelujah i’m a bum
hallelujah bum again
hallelujah give us a handout
to revive us again
well i went to a bar
and i asked for a drink
man gave me a gl-ss
and he showed me the sink
hallelujah i’m a bum
hallelujah bum again
hallelujah give us a handout
to revive us again
well i knocked on the door
and i asked for some bread
the lady said “bum bum
the baker is dead”
hallelujah i’m a bum
hallelujah bum again
hallelujah give us a handout
to revive us again
well why do you work
for eight hours or more
two of us could have jobs
if you only worked four
hallelujah i’m a bum
hallelujah bum again
hallelujah give us a handout
to revive us again
“well why don’t you work
like other folks do”
how can i get a job
when you’re holding down two
hallelujah i’m a bum
hallelujah bum again
hallelujah give us a handout
to revive us again
well why speed up like that
’til you’re ready to fall
if you’d slow down a bit
there’d be work for us all
hallelujah i’m a bum
hallelujah bum again
hallelujah give us a handout
to revive us again
“well why don’t you save
all the money you earn”
if i didn’t eat
i’d have money to burn
hallelujah i’m a bum
hallelujah bum again
hallelujah give us a handout
to revive us again
if i ever get
all the money i earn
the boss will be broke
and to work he must turn
hallelujah i’m a bum
hallelujah bum again
hallelujah give us a handout
to revive us again
well if you can’t find a job
and they won’t give you bread
find a kindhearted cop
and he’ll beat on your head
hallelujah i’m a bum
hallelujah bum again
hallelujah give us a handout
to revive us again
but don’t you complain
no don’t open your eyes
don’t talk revolution
don’t organize
hallelujah i’m a bum
hallelujah bum again
hallelujah give us a handout
to revive us again
hallelujah i’m a bum
hallelujah bum again
hallelujah give us a handout
to revive us again
