Song by Randy Newman<br /><br>

We've taken all you've given<br>

But it's gettin' hard to make a livin'<br>

Mr. President have pity on the working man<br>

<br>

We're not asking you to love us<br>

You may place yourself high above us<br>

Mr. President have pity on the working man<br>

<br>

I know it may sound funny<br>

But people ev'ry where are runnin' out of money<br>

We just can't make it by ourself<br>

<br>

It is cold and the wind is blowing<br>

We need something to keep us gong<br>

Mr. President have pity on the working man<br>

<br>

Maybe you've cheated<br>

Maybe you've lied<br>

Maybe you have lost your mind<br>

Maybe you're only thinking 'bout yourself<br>

<br>

Too late to run. Too late to cry now<br>

The time has come for us to say good-bye now<br>

Mr. President have pity on the working man<br>

Mr. President have pity on the working man<br>

<br>
