With a gun that he polished for a rainy day

I believe in the gods of America

I believe in the land of the free

But no one told me (No one told me)

         Em
That the gods believe in nothing

        D
So with empty hands I pray

         Bm
And from day to hopeless day

                 Em
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 And 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
