lyrics

Give a little bit before you go,
You've got to give a little bit before you go,
You've got to give a little bit before you go,
You've got to give a little bit before you go.

Man comes up to me and he asks me for a dime,
I put my head down and keep on walkin', I just can't seem to find the time.
Then I see that same old man in his cardboard shack,
Livin' down by the railroad where the other poor people are at.

Give a little bit before you go,
You've got to give a little bit before you go,
You've got to give a little bit before you go,
You've got to give a little bit before you go.

See that girl standing right next to you,
Deep down inside you know you love each other through and through.
Still we find all of that time to fuss and fight,
Acting like we've got nothing better to do on a Saturday night.

Give a little bit before you go,
You've got to give a little bit before you go,
You've got to give a little bit before you go,
You've got to give a little bit before you go.

Politician comes up to you, asks you for your vote.
Well, we’re trying not to laugh in his face, you know how politics is a joke.
They promise us that they're going to work for us after election day.
They’re with the fat cats in the back rooms now. See how those crooks behave!

Give a little bit before you go,
You've got to give a little bit before you go,
You've got to give a little bit before you go,
You've got to give a little bit before you go.
