SAMARITANS NEVER PROSPER

We are broke
And we daily choke
Suffer us. Will you help us cope?

Feeling low
Awful woe
Told you so

Foolish man, you gave far too much. You've no leg to stand
They took it while you offered helping hand
And maybe, maybe good was done
But what is it worth if no crown is won

We are broke
And we hate our yoke
Pity us. Will you lend us a rope?

We are broke
And we choke and choke
Deliver us you misanthrope

Feeling low
Awful woe
Told you so

Foolish man, you gave far too much. You've no leg to stand
They took it while you offered helping hand
And maybe, maybe good was done
But what is it worth if no crown is won
Beggar flee and leper shun

Their wanting eyes
They pine and despise
And wailing reprise

They are all around :: God damn, God damn, we need you so
They will run you aground :: Life's a little tough, or don't you know
Like wolves they will hound :: We've given it our all, got nothing to show
And bring you down, down, down :: But God damn we need you so
They are all around :: Life's a little tough, or don't you know
They will run you aground :: We've given it our all, got nothing to show
Like wolves they will hound :: But God damn we need you so
Until they bring you down
