Am7              Em7
Standing in line marking time
D               Cadd9
Waiting for the welfare dime
G        D                Cadd9
  'Cause they can't buy a job
    Am7                  Em7
The man in the silk suit hurries by
      D                    Cadd9
As he catches the poor old ladies' eyes
G          D          Cadd9
  Just for fun he says "get a job"

They say hey, little boy you can't go where the others go
G                  D              Cadd9
  'Cause you don't look like they do
     Am7          Em7                  D             Cadd9
Said hey, old man how can you stand to think that way
        G                  D             Cadd9
Did you really think about it before you made the rules, he said, son

[Verse 3]
           Am7              Em7   D                    Cadd9
Well, they passed a law in '64 to give those who ain't got a little more
G        D         Cadd9
  But it only goes so far
            Am7               Em7
Because the law don't change another's mind
