walkin on a path of perdition 
i see the smoke stacks in my periphery 
huffin overtime spewing the residue 
of the workin classes' faith in democracy

chuuuch house tilting on that banknote 
attracting folk with give me some money lawdy 
a three piece snack is ridin on a three minute song 
with the coarse hair sellin out while the sub woofer's bumpin 
hollin 'bout i'm hungry- for freedom - but i don't know how to eat that way 
because i'm -UNDER THE SPELL OF THE HANDOUT 2x 
i adore the gold and cash- i go for treason if that will increase my pay 
because i'm -UNDER THE SPELL OF THE HANDOUT 2x 
GIVE me my share please HAND

25 years to life- the new degree - new occupation 
census can't quantify the desperation ailing the hungry 
and the beaten all across the dreamy USA 
the ball is under the spell of the handout 
GIVE me my share- oh lord give me my share

i heard the plea's and cries- give a voice - give me my mind back 
give me the floor- give me some room- nah man you got to take it 
take it - demand it 
i heard the plea's and cries - make me the choice - let me in the caste 
give my poor son and daughter a pass - you got to take it- got to take it

sometimes you got to ask yourself -what am i feedin on- what am i steppin in 
what am i givin up now - what am i depending on - what do i represent here - what am i thinking of NOW!

UNDER THE SPELL OF THE HANDOUT 2x

i adore the gold and cash – i go for treason if that will increase my pay 
because i'm under - i'm under the spell of the handout 
oh I'm hungry for a freedom if that will – gimme gimme gimme and i'm gone
