I've been workin', workin' hard
I've been workin', Oh help me Lord
I've been thinkin', thinkin' hard
I've been thinkin', Oh help me Lord

I'm so tired, so unwired
Firmament sent rent through the buyer
I spend my days, I spend my nights
Far away, Far from the light
Afraid to speak a word of truth afraid to know
Why sisters cry, brothers die and souls grow cold
What can we do when chains are two?
Even if you break one the other won't undo
 
I've been workin', workin' hard,
I've been workin', Oh help me Lord
I've been thinkin', thinkin' hard
I've been thinkin', Oh help me Lord

I've been workin' hard, workin' strong, weatherin' every storm
& I see things in between that just don't belong
These mean streets try to eat ya down to the bone
But I'm not alone...
So why won't you help me Lord
Why won't you help me Lord

I've been workin', workin' hard
I've been workin', oh help me Lord
I've been thinkin', thinkin' hard
I've been thinkin', Oh help me Lord

I feel the swell overwhelm
Pain surges through my veins 
Cane's fiery hell came oh Lord
We sho' don't know what we do
Tryin' to find a way to get through this blues
Ooh this had got to be the lowest point I've ever seen
The skies are black and I'm flippin' in between sheets
What can we do when chains are two?
Even if you break one the other won't undo

I've been workin', workin' hard
I've been thinkin', oh help me Lord
I've been workin', workin' hard
I've been thinkin', Oh help me Lord

Workin'

You and me 
If we could be ONE 
Yeah then we would be cool
But you can see 
It doesn't mean a thing 
When your preachers are tools

You swallow your shame
But how in his name can you lie to the people who need you?
Can you look in their eyes and know what it's like
To live under your greed?
Oooh please

Dolla bills
Bending wills
Where's the thrill in buying respect?
It's time to put yourself in check

You hold my hand 
And then you spit on my face
I don't know why we love to hate
My shine is time 
Your vibes are dimes
Free your soul then you shall free your mind

You follow your pride
Enjoyin the ride forgettin all the people who love you
Can you look in their eyes and reveal all times
The power was too far above you?

Dolla bills
Bending wills
Where's the thrill in buying respect?
It's time to put yourself in check

(guitar solo)

Dolla bills
Bending wills
Where's the thrill in buying respect?
It's time to put yourself in check

Dolla bills
Bending wills 
Where's the thrill in buying respect?
Your soul's too thin 
Sin spreads within
It's time to put yourself in check.
