George Michael
Hand to Mouth Jimmy Got Nothing made himself a nameWith a gun that he polished for a rainy dayA smile and a quote from a vigilante movieOur boy Jimmy just blew them all awayHe said it made him crazyTwenty five years living hand to mouth
Hand to mouth, hand to mouth, hand to mouth
Sweet little baby on a big wihite doorstepShe needs her mother but her mother is deadJust another hooker that the lucky can forgetJust another hookerIt happens everydayShe loved her little babyBut she couldn’t bear to see her living hand to mouth
Hand to mouth, hand to mouth, hand to mouth
I believe in the gods of AmericaI believe in the land of the freeBut no one told me(No one told me)That the gods believe in nothingSo with empty hands I prayAnd from day to hopeless day
They still don’t see me (See me)
Everybody talks about the new generationJump on the wagon or they’ll leave you behindBut no one gave a thought to the rest of the nation”Like to help you buddy, but I haven’t got the time”Somebody shouted save meBut everybody started living hand to mouth
Hand to mouth, hand to mouth, hand to mouth
There’s a big white ladyOn a big white doorstepShe asked her daddy and her daddy said “yes”Has to give a little for the dollars that we getHas to give a little -They say it’s for the bestSomebody shoutedMaybeBut they kept on living from hand to mouth
Hand to mouth, hand to mouth, hand to mouth
So she ran to the arms of AmericaAnd she kissed the powers that beAnd someone told me(Someone told me)That the gods believe in nothingSo with empty hands I prayAnd I tell myselfOne day
They just might see me…
