lyrics

A man begs for change on a street in a cold city
And I turn my head so I don't feel as guilty
'Cause if I saw the look on his face and the shame in his eyes
I'd probably think twice about looking away and passing him by

When I was hungry you gave me your bread
I was thirsty you gave me your wine
Naked you put your shirt on my back
Paid me well though I'm not worth a dime

If we don't die trying to love no one else will
Help us do what you will

Amanda cuts hair for a living but she lives to drink
Her man locks her out when she's living so she's yelling for me
Do I open my door or just let her sit there and cry
It was too much to deal with so I laid down and I closed my sober eyes

When I was hungry you gave me your bread
I was thirsty you gave me your wine
Naked you put your shirt on my back
Paid me well though I'm not worth a dime

If we don't die trying to love no one else will
Help us do what you will

Some of the churches are holding their capital campaigns
To buy diamond hinges on which their golden doors will hang
Pope Leo built fancy cathedrals and starved the whole town
But it didn't save anyone then and it sure as hell won't save us now

When I was hungry you gave me your bread
I was thirsty you gave me your wine
Naked you put your shirt on my back
Paid me well though I'm not worth a dime

If we don't die trying to love no one else will
If we don't die trying to love no one else will
Help us do what you will
