Hear my troubles of life
Can you take me for one last ride?
I want to bend my soul again
That’s what we do when we get older
Where’s your troubled mind
You got your money and you got them ‘cause others just can’t
There’s the lottery about geography

Don’t know the the hand you’re holding
Paying someone to put them to bed again

And that’s when it hurts -- the difference
This is hot blood -- and a difference
What a difference a little difference would make!

Hear my love sigh
I’ve got a story that money just can’t buy
Western standards
Poverty’s profitable
See it slip and slide
Not just one answer ‘cause it’s working like parallel lines
It’s not that easy when you want it easy

And that’s when it hurts -- when you see the difference
It’s a raging lung -- and a difference
What a difference a little difference would make!

Don’t leave me now, don’t fall asleep
We need to rest sometimes, but don’t leave me
It’s something in the system that still circulates
We’ll dig a hole in the backyard and drain the blood
