Em
Jimmy got nothing made himself a name
Em7
With a gun that he polished for a rainy day
Em
A smile and a quote from a vigilante movie
Emadd9                            Am7
Our boy Jimmy just blew them all away
He said it made him crazy
                         Em
Twenty five years living hand to mouth
Emadd9         Em             Emadd9
Hand to mouth, hand to mouth, hand to mouth
Em
Sweet little baby on a big white doorstep
Em7
She needs her mother but her mother is dead
Em
Just another hooker that the lucky can forget
Emadd9
Just another hooker
                Am7
It happens everyday
She loved her little baby
But she couldn't bear to see her living
Em             Emadd9         Em             Emadd9
Hand to mouth, hand to mouth, hand to mouth, hand to mouth
Cmaj7                    Bm
I believe in the gods of America
Cmaj7                        Bm
I believe in the land of the free
    Am7
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
