Catie Curtis - Hole In The Bucket Lyrics
I went down to the city and I found myself a jobWorking for the people who do need some helping outBut then in truth I found there was so little left to giveThe government might save their lives, might not help them to live(chorus:)There's a hole in the bucket and the people fall outThere's money underground but you can't get it outWhen you stand at the State House, smile, and say "Please?"There's a crack in the floor and the people fall throughAnd they wind up coming back to youFrom a place it seems like they can never leaveThere's a hole in the system for the people in need.How do you tell a woman who is 82 years oldPoor and lying in her bed and needing help at homeThat there is no more money, there is nothing you can doJust hold on for a better year and we'll try to get to you(chorus)Oh beautiful for spacious skies and amber waves of grainAmerica, you're beautiful but you have got to changeYou think of how to save your skin but you never mind the bonesHave we become a country where the hearts have turned to stones?(chorus
