Give a Damn

I've got some things to say
About the American way
And a trap I'm afraid we're
All gonna fall down into
If you need a job done
They'll take your money and run
Too many folks don't give a
Damn if they help you

Now don't y'all get me wrong
This is not a judgment song
You know I've hurt a lot of
Folks myself along the way
But as I go from town to town
I see the same thing going down
They don't give a damn about the job
But they do about the pay

Give a damn about your job
Don't you let the devil rob
Take pride in anything that you
Sign your name to
Let's forget about the bankers
Let's try to help our neighbors
America, I'm askin' you to give a damn

They used to give you thirty days if
You had a bill to pay
But now they wanna get the
Money fast as they can
Well, that's all right with me
If it's like it's supposed to be
But too many times it ain't and
They just don't give a damn

Give a damn about your job don't
You let the devil rob
Take pride in anything that you
Sign your name to
Well forget about the banker and
Try to help your neighbor
America, I'm askin' you to give a damn

Give a damn about your job
Don't you let the devil rob
Take pride in anything that you
Sign your name to
Give a damn about your maker he
Might also be your taker
Americans, I'm askin' you to give a damn

This a gospel song
There's a right way and there's a wrong
Why don't you help your neighbor or
Do you give a damn?
