Lyric That s What I Want To Hear

G B7 Em E7
So you tell me that your last good dollar is gone
A D G
and you say that your pockets are bare.
G B7 Em E7
And you tell me that your clothes are tattered and torn
A A7 D
and nobody seems to care.

B7 Em
Now don t tell me your troubles,
A D G
no I don t have the time to spare.
B7 Em E7
But if you want to get together and fight
A D G
good buddy that s what I want to hear.

And you tell me that your job was taken away
by a big ol greasy machine.
And you tell me that you don t collect no more pay
and your belly is growing lean.

Now if I had the jobs to give
you know I d give them all away.
But don t waste your breath calling out my name
if you don t have nothing to say.

And you tell me that you don t have nothing to do
and you keep on wasting your time.
And you say when you want to get your family some food
you gotta stand in a relief line.

Now it s a sin and a bloody shame
bout the way they re pushing you round.
But when you decide not to take no more
you know I ll put my money down.

Cause I ve seen your kind many times before
And I ll see em many times again.
Oh but every bad thing that s happened to you
has happened to better men.

So don t explain that you ve lost your way
that you ve got no place to go.
You ve got a hand and a voice and you re not alone
Brother that s all you need to know.

And if you re still wondering what I m trying to say
let me tell you what it s all about.
Now nobody listens to a single man
when he s walkin round down and out.

So if you re looking for an answer
he s standing there by your side.
And you ll never really know how far you ll go
til you join together and try.

(Repeat first six lines)
