Steve Miller Band
Mama Church (A Cappella) (Hotel 4-Track, April 21, 1972)
[Verse 1]
In a world surrounded by hate and greed
Where are the people with a real need?
Here is a church, here is a steeple
Open up the doors but there aren't any people

[Refrain]
I feel like I'm dying, oh mama
I can't stop crying, no, oh mama
I feel like I'm dying, oh mama
Oh mama, can't stop crying

[Verse 2]
Here is a girl without nutrition
Here is a man and he's doing addition
Here is a child who has no hope
Here is a woman strung out on dope

[Refrain]
I feel like I'm dying, mama
I can't stop crying, mama
I feel like I'm dying, mama, oh yeah
Lord, Lord, Lord, Lord, what a day
