When the Welfare Turns Its Back On You - Albert Collins

When the Welfare Turns Its Back On You Lyrics

Now, what you gonna do
When the welfare turn it's back on you?
Now what you gonna do
When the welfare turn it's back on you?Now, you be standin' there stranded
There's ain't a thing that you can doNow you look all through your house
Yes, you can't find a piece of bread
Now you look all through your house
Yeah, you can't find a piece of breadSometime you begin to wonder
If you be better off, better off deadYou go down to the welfare
Give 'em one, two report
Something they sellin' you
Will surely get your goatIf you tell 'em you sick
You better have a bad cough
'Cause if you don't
They be ready to throw you offWhat you gonna do
When the welfare turns it's back on you?
You be standin' out stranded
There ain't a thing, there ain't a thing youThere ain't a thing

That you can do
