Sade - Feel No Pain Lyrics
Mama been laid offPapa been laid offMy brothers been laid offFor more than two years nowOoh cant get a jobBilly cant get a jobOoh they gotta listen to the bluesHelp them to striveHelp them to move onHelp them to have some futureHelp them to live longHelp them to live lifeHelp them to smileDont let them stay home and listen to the bluesMama been laid offPapa been laid offBilly cant get a jobFor too long too longDont let them loseWe gotta give them a chanceIts gonna come back on everyoneIf you dont make them danceDont let them stay home and listen to the bluesTheres nothing sacred (why, why, why)Breathing hatredWe have to face it (why, why, why)No one can take itAnd feel no painMama been laid offPapa been laid offMy brothers been laid offFor more than two years nowOoh cant get a jobBilly cant get a jobOoh they gotta listen to the bluesHelp them to striveHelp them to move onHelp them to have some futureHelp them to live longHelp them to live lifeHelp them to smileDont let them stay home and listen to the bluesOne day were gonna wake upAnd the ghettos all aroundAll over my friendHave you ever seen a man break downDo you know how that feelsTo walk the street with your head held highWhy, why, whyOh lord have mercyDid you ever see a man break downTheres nothing sacredBreathing hatredWe have to face itNo-one can take it (how can they take that much)And feel no painOooh, did you ever see a man break down
