He
ain't crazy, he ain't dumb
Don't call him lazy, he's the
unfortunate one
Lost his job ... when the plant
closed down
Was about Christmas time ...
now there's no work to be found
And like so many leaves we keep
on walking by
We don't notice the pain
in our brother's eyes
Oh,
every mother's son, every single
one
Has the right to dignity
Oh, every shattered dream, every
soul in need
Has the right to dignity
What you gonna do with your
babies
Home of the brave ... land of
the free
Nobody's asking for what ain't
theirs
Just their dignity ...
Now
she's angry, she worked all day
Rent is due, she don't have
enough to pay
She once lived out the American
dream
Said "nothin bad's ever
gonna happen to me"
And like so many stones that we
throw away
She's got nothin' left for a
rainy dayOh, every mother's son,
every single one
Has the right to dignity
Oh, every shattered dream, every
soul in need
Has the right to dignity
What you gonna do with your
babies
Home of the brave ... land of
the free
Nobody's asking for what ain't
theirs
Just their dignity ...
And
I call it a human thing
And it comes from inside
Oh yes it's this human thing
To want to be warm in the
nightOh, every mother's son,
every single one
Has the right to dignity
Oh, every shattered dream, every
soul in need
Has the right to dignity
What you gonna do with your
babies
Home of the brave ... land of
the free
Nobody's asking for what ain't
theirs
Just their dignity ...
