Inner City Blues (Make Me Wanna Holler)

(album: A Lonely Man - 1972)

Rockets, moon shots
Spend it on the have-nots
Money, we make it
Before we see it, you take it

Oh, make me wanna holler
The way they do my life
Make me wanna holler
The way they do my life
This ain't living, this ain't living
The Bible says we gotta keep on giving

Inflation, no chance
To increase finance
Bills pile up sky high
Send that boy off to die

Oh, make me wanna holler
The way they do my life
Make me wanna holler
The way they do my life
This ain't living, this ain't living
But the Bible says we gotta keep on giving

Hang ups, let downs
Bad breaks, set backs
Natural fact is
I can't pay my taxes

Oh, make me wanna holler
Throw up both my hands
Yeah, it makes me wanna holler
And throw up both my hands
This ain't living, this ain't living
But the Bible says we gotta be forgiving

Crime is increasing
Trigger happy policing
Panic is spreading
God knows where we're heading

Oh, make me wanna holler
Throw up both my hands
Yeah, it makes me wanna holler
And throw up both my hands
This ain't living, this ain't living
But the Bible says we gotta be forgiving
