Feel No Pain lyrics

Mama been laid off

Papa been laid off

My brother's been laid off

For more than two years now

Ooh, can't get a job

Billy can't get a job

Ooh, they gotta listen to the blues

Help them to strive

Help them to move on

Help them to have some future

Help them to live long

Help them to live life

Help them to smile

Don't let them stay home and listen to the blues

Papa been laid off

Mama been laid off

Billy can't get a job

For too long, too long

Don't let them lose

We gotta give them a chance

It's gonna come back on everyone

If you don't make them dance

Don't let them stay home and listen to the blues

There's nothing sacred (Why)

Breathing hatred (Why, why)

We have to face it (Why)

No one can take it (Why)

And feel no pain (Why)

Why, why

One day we're gonna wake up

And the ghettos all around

All over, my friend

Have you ever seen a man break down?

(Why)

Do you know how that feels

(Why)

To walk the street with your head held high?

There's nothing sacred

Breathing hatred

We have to face it (Why)

No one can take it (Why)

And feel no pain (Why)

Oh, did you ever see a man break down?
