WE GOT THE VOICE from Peter John

They got the money.
We got the people.
They got the options.
We got the choice.
They got an attitude.
We gotta fix it.
They got the microphone.
We got the voice.

You ain’t gotta be poor
But-chya gotta be a whore
Livin’ hand to mouth.
Take whatever work you find
Money swallowin’ your mind
and dreams

When the leaves are on the ground
And the Winter’s comin’ round
Livin’ hand to mouth
Even if you own a home
With an underwater loan
you fear
How soon it could disappear.

They got the money.
We got the people.
They got the options.
We got the choice.
They got an attitude.
We gotta fix it.
They got the microphone.
We got the voice.

Every month you still debate
What to pay and send in late
Livin’ hand to mouth.
You may think you’re middle class
But they’re cuttin’ off your gas
Today!

Never boom and always bust
Haulin’ iron, sweatin’ rust
Livin’ hand to mouth.
You got nothin’ left to save
Nothin’ but an early grave to choose
When life’s all you got to lose.

They got the money.
We got the people.
They got the options.
We got the choice.
They got an attitude.
We gotta fix it.
They got the microphone.
We got the voice.

So get your A' in gear
