Hole In The Bucket Lyrics

I went down to the city
And I found myself a job
Working for the people
Who do need some helping out
But then in truth I found
There was so little left to give
The government might save their lives
Might not help them to live

Chorus:
Well, there's a hole in the bucket
And the people fall out
There's money underground
But you can't get it out
When you stand at the state house
Smile, and say "Please?"
Well, there's a crack in the floor
And the people fall through
And they wind up coming
Back to you
From a place it seems like
They can never leave
Well, there's a hole in the system
For the people in need

How do you tell a woman
Who is eighty-two years old
Poor and lying in her bed
And needing help at home
That there is no more money
There is nothing you can do
Just hold on for a better year Catie Curtis - Hole In The Bucket - http://motolyrics.com/catie-curtis/hole-in-the-bucket-lyrics.html
And we'll try to get to you

(chorus)

Oh beautiful for spacious skies
And amber waves of grain
America, you're beautiful
But you have got to change
You think of how to save your skin
But you never mind the bones
Have we become a country
Where the hearts have turned to stone?

Chorus:
Well, there's a hole in the bucket
And the people out
There's money underground
But you can't get it out
When you stand at the capitol
Smile, and say "Please?"
Well, there's a crack in the floor
And the people fall through
And they wind up coming
Back to you
From a place it seems like
They can never leave
Well, there's a hole in the system
For the people in need

La, la, la
La, la, la,
La
