Letras de Hand to Mouth

Jimmy got nothin′, made himself a name
With a gun that he polished for a rainy day
A smile and a quote from a vigilante movie
And our boy Jimmy just blew them all away

You said it made him crazy
Twenty-five years of livin' hand to mouth
Hand to mouth, hand to mouth, hand to mouth

Sweet little baby on a big white doorstep
She needs a mother, but her mother is dead
Just another hooker that the lucky can forget
Just another hooker, it happens every day

She loved her little baby
But she couldn′t bear to see him livin' hand to mouth
Hand to mouth, hand to mouth, hand to mouth

She believed in the gods of America
She believed in the land of the free
No one told her that the gods believe in nothing
So with empty hands she'll pray
And from day to hopeless day
They still don′t see her

Everybody talks about a new generation
Jump on the wagon or they′ll leave you behind
No one gave a thought to the rest of the nation
I'd like to help you, buddy, but I haven′t got the time

Somebody shouted, "Save me"
Everybody started livin' hand to mouth
Hand to mouth, hand to mouth, hand to mouth

There′s a big white lady on a big white doorstep
She asked her daddy and her daddy said, "Yes"
Have to give a little for the dollars that we get
Have to give a little, they say it's for the best

Somebody shouting, "Maybe"
But they keep on livin′ from hand to mouth
Hand to mouth, hand to mouth, hand to mouth

So she ran to the arms of America
And she kissed the powers that be
Someone told me that the gods believe in nothing
So with empty arms I pray
And I tell myself one day
They just might see me

Hand to mouth, hand to mouth, hand to mouth, hand to mouth
Hand to mouth, hand to mouth, hand to mouth, hand to mouth
