I've got some things to say about the American way And a trap I'm afraid we're all going to 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 not a judgement 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 too Let's forget about the banker, let's try to help our neighbors America I'm asking 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 alright with me, if it's like it's suppose 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 too Well forget about the banker and try to help your neighbor America I'm asking 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 too Give a damn about your maker he might also be your taker Americans I'm asking 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
