Hand to Mouth - Remastered

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
 25 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
 I believe in the gods of America
 I believe in the land of the free
 But no one told me (no one told me)
 That the gods believe in nothing
 So with empty hands I pray
 And from day to hopeless day
 They still don't see me (see me)
 ♪
 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
 "Like to help you buddy, but I haven't got the time"
 Somebody shouted save me
 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"
 Has to give a little for the dollars that we get
 Has to give a little
 They say it's for the best
 Somebody shouted, "Maybe"
 But they kept on living from 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 (someone told me)
 That the gods believe in nothing
 So with empty hands I pray
 And I tell myself one day
 They just might see me
 They just might see me
