[Verse 1]
We've taken all you've given
It's gettin' hard to make a livin'
Mr. President, have pity on the working man

[Verse 2]
We ain't askin' for you to love us
You may place yourself high above us
Mr. President, have pity on the working man

[Bridge]
I know it may sound funny
But people everywhere are runnin' out of money
We just can't make it by ourself

[Verse 3]
It is cold and the wind is blowin'
We need somethin' to keep us goin'
Mr. President, have pity on the working man

[Instrumental Break]

[Bridge]
Maybe you're cheatin', maybe you're lyin'
Maybe you have lost your mind
Maybe you're only thinkin' 'bout yourself
[Verse 4]
Too late to run, too late to cry now
The time has come for us to say goodbye now
Mr. President, have pity on the working man

[Outro]
Mr. President, have pity on the working man
