When the Welfare Turns Its Back on You
Now what you gonna do, when the welfare turn it's back on you?Now what you gonna do-hoo-hoo-hoo, when the welfare turn it's back on youNow, you be standin' there stranded, there's ain't a thing that you can doNow you look all through your house, yes, you can't, find a piece of breadNow you look all through your hou-hou-house, yeah, you can't find a piece of breadSometime you begin to wonder, if you be better off, better off, deadYou go down to the welfareGive 'em one, two reportSomething they sellin' youWill surely get your goatIf you tell 'em you sickYou better have a bad cough'Cause if you don'tThey be ready to throw you offWhat you gonna do, when the welfare turns it's back on you?You be standin' there stranded,There ain't a thing, there ain't a thing youThere ain't a thing-hing-hing-hing-hing,That you can do
