He ain't crazy, he ain't dumb Call him lazy, he's an unfortunate one
Lost his job when the plant closed down It's about Christmas time, there's no work
to be found And like so many leaves we keep on walking
by We don't notice the pain in our brother's
eyes Oh, every mother's son, every single one
Has the right to dignity Oh, every shattered dream, every sorely need
Has the right to dignity What you gonna do with your babies?
Home of the brave, land of the free Nobody's asking for what ain't theirs
Just their dignity Now she's angry, she worked all day
Rent is due, she don't have enough to pay She once lived out the American dream
Said nothing bad's ever gonna happen to me, no
And like so many stones that we throw away She's got nothing saved for her any day, no
Every mother's son, every single one Has the right to dignity
Oh, every shattered dream, every sorely need Has the right to dignity
What you gonna do with your babies?
Home of the brave, land of the free Nobody's asking for what ain't theirs
Just their dignity
And I call it a human thing And it comes from inside
Oh yes, it's this human thing To wanna be one in the name
Every mother's son, every single one Has the right to dignity
Oh, every shattered dream, every sorely need Has the right to dignity
What you gonna do with your babies?
Home of the brave, land of the free Nobody's asking for what ain't theirs
Just their dignity
Thanks for watching!
