Living on Government hand-outs  Water in the milk from a hole in the roof  Where the rain comes through  What can you do? You can't move    You got tears from your little sister  Crying cos she don't have a dress without a patch in  For the party to go  Aw, but you know she'll get by cos she's ....    [Chorus:]  Living in the love of the common people  Smiles through the heart of the family man  Poppa's gonna buy her a dream to cling to  Momma's gonna love her just as much as she can  And she can    It's a good thing you don't have bus fares  They would fall through a hole in your pocketand you'd lose them  In the snow on the ground  You gotta walk into town to find a job    Trying to keep yourself warm  But the hole in your shoe lets the snow come through  And chills you to the bone  So now you better go home where it's warm and you can    [Chorus]    Living on dreams ain't easy
