[intro] Pervasive emissary Room on the chopping block You asked for too much Go punch that clock [Verse1] I'm not looking for special I'm not even looking for a right I'm just looking to survive Maybe even just this night [Verse2] You knock me down You kicked me in the head You told me I was stupid Then you wished me dead [Bridge] Last week you were hungry This week you're cold Next week you'll be hot An empty hand you hold [Chorus] No hand out We have nothing to give You want everything free That's not how we live Get to them bootstraps Get your ass to work So you can't find anything Now you want my shirt [Verse3] You took me in chains Then you lock me in a room With twenty other people Welcome to gloom and doom [Verse4] You will work Or you will not eat With no room to sit You stand on your feet [Bridge] I became sad Something isn't right With nothing left for me to do I'm going to have to fight [Chorus] No hand out We have nothing to give You want everything free That's not how we live Get to them shovels Get your ass to work So you can do something Now start moving that dirt [Verse5] I saw that you were bleeding No ambulance would come here I would take you to the hospital The truth is I just don't care [Verse6] You are just a criminal Vagrancy is a crime You better start walking Or you are going to do time [Chorus] No hand out We have nothing to give You want everything free That's not how we live Get to them bootstraps Pull them up tight I don't care what you do Just get out of my sight [Outro] The will of the world Is more than I can stand You glorified greed And not giving a hand It's not about what you think They just need water to drink They need something to eat Before they die in the street You look the other way Nothing substantial to give Unless they can pay You don't care if they live
