Mama been laid off, papa been laid off
Brother been laid off for more than two years now
Who can't get a job, really can't get a job
They gotta listen to the blues
And listen to the blues
They gotta listen to the blues
They gotta listen to the blues
Help them to strive, help them to move on
Help them to have some future, help them to live along
Help them to live a life, help them to smile
Don't let them stay home
And listen to the blues
And listen to the blues
And listen to the blues
They gotta listen to the blues
Papa been laid off, mama been laid off
Really can't get a job for too long, too long
Don't let them lose, we gotta give them a chance
It's gonna come back on everyone if you don't make them dance
Don't let them stay home
And listen to the blues
And listen to the blues
And listen to the blues
They gotta listen to the blues
It's not the same thing, really hurts me
We have to face it, no one can change it
And feel no pain (feel no pain)
One day, we're gonna wake up
And the ghetto's all around
All over, my friend
Have you ever seen a man break down?
Mmm, did you ever see a man break down?
Mmm, did you ever see a man break down?
Mmm, did you ever see a man break down?
Mmm, did you ever see a man break down?
