Living on Government hand-outs
Water in the milk from a hole in the roof
Where the rain comes through
What can you do? You can't move

You got tears from your little sister
Crying 'cause she don't have a dress without a patch in
For the party to go
Aw, but you know she'll get by 'cause she's ....

[Chorus:]
Living in the love of the common people
Smiles through the heart of the family man
Poppa's gonna buy her a dream to cling to
Momma's gonna love her just as much as she can
And she can

It's a good thing you don't have bus fares
They would fall through a hole in your pocketand you'd lose them
In the snow on the ground
You gotta walk into town to find a job

Trying to keep yourself warm
But the hole in your shoe lets the snow come through
And chills you to the bone
So now you better go home where it's warm and you can

[Chorus]

Living on dreams ain't easy
