i been restless you been helpless we been stranded too i been tired you been hungry learning how to sing the blues you can shout for change and worry about the state of the world but it ll take a little more than praying on a sunday morning i been running you been hinding we been carrying on i been hollering you been crying up til the break of dawn you can shout for change and worry about the state of the world but it ll take a little more than praying on a sunday morning you get down on your knees and you put your hands together leave it to the weatherman to cry about the weather gonna take a little bread a little blood a little something from your sister your brother if this thing s gonna get any better
