Jimmy got nothing,
made himself a name with a gun that he polished from a rainy day.
Smiling a quote from a vigilante movie
and our boy Jimmy just blew them all away.
He said it made him crazy.
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.
No one told her.
Who let the god believe in nothing.
So with empty hands she'll pray.
And from day to hopeless day,
they still don't see her.
Everybody talks about a new generation.
Jump on the wagon or they'll leave you behind.
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 shout and save me.
Everybody started living hand to mouth, hand
to mouth,
hand to mouth, hand to mouth.
This 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 shout and maybe 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.
Oh someone told me.
Who let the gods believe in nothing.
So with empty arms I pray.
And I tell myself one day,
they just might see me.
