10 Cc - Charity Begins At Home Lyrics
A shake of the tinThe money drops in, but is it a sinYoure standing in ragsYoure selling your flagsBut who gets the dough at the end of the dayWe saw your drop-dead fancy wheelsYour little house up on the hillBut when your conscience pricksA little sacrifice sweetens the pillSo keep your hands in your pocketsCharity begins at homeKeep your hands in your pocketsCharity wont leave you aloneWe take to the stageThe audience rave, were doing our bitA heavenly cast, a blast from the pastTheres a song to be sung, will it make number oneWe wanna see your money rollBut our eyes are on the hall of fame`cos business is businessAnd hits are the name of the gameSo keep your hands in your pocketsCharity begins at homeKeep your hands in your pocketsCharity wont leave you aloneEverywhere that we turnThere are mouths to be fedHow can we sleepThe battle goes on while wereSafe in our bedsSo dont turn awayNo dont turn awayYour doors are lockedYou switch on the box to take in a showYou think that youre safeBut here comes that faceAnd wouldnt you know its that message againThey want to take your plastic cashYour hand reaches out to the phoneKeep your hands in your pocketsCharity begins at homeKeep your hands in your pocketsCharity begins at homeKeep your hands in your pocketsCharity wont leave you aloneEverywhere that we turnThere are mouths to be fedHow can we sleepThe battle goes on while wereSafe in our bedsSo dont turn awayNo dont turn awayKeep your hands in your pocketsCharity begins at homeKeep your hands in your pocketsCharity wont leave you alone(repeat 5x)
