[Verse 1]
We have taken all you've given
It's still tough to make a livin'
Mr. President, have pity on the working man

[Verse 2]
You don't even have to love us
You can put yourself high above us
Mr. President, have pity on the working man

[Chorus]
I know it may, it sound funny
But so people are running out of money
We just can't make it by ourself, oh no we can't make it by ourself

[Chorus]
Oh like I said, it may sound a little funny
But so many of us are running out of money
We just can't make it by ourself

[Verse 3]
Because the winter time's coming and the blue wind is blowing
We need a little something to keep us going
Mr. President, have pity on the working man, one more time
Mr. President, have pity on the working man, one more time
Hey Mr. President, have pity on the working man
