Jimmy Got Nothing made himself a name
With a gun that he polished for a rainy day
A smile and a quote from a vigilante movie
Our boy Jimmy just blew them all away
He said it made him crazy
Twenty five years living hand to mouth
Hand to mouth, hand to mouth, hand to mouth
Sweet little baby on a big white doorstep
She needs her mother but her mother is dead
Just another hooker that the lucky can forget
Just another hooker
It happens every day …
She loved her little baby
But she couldn’t bare to see her living hand to mouth
Hand to mouth, hand to mouth, hand to mouth
I believed in the gods of America
I believe in the land of the free
But no one told me
(No one told me)
That the gods believe in nothing
So with empty hands I pray
And from day to hopeless day
They still don’t see me
(See me)
Everybody talks about the new generation
Jump on the wagon or they’ll leave you behind
But no one gave a thought to the rest of the nation
,Like to help you buddy but I haven’t got the time”
Somebody shouted save me
But everyobdy started living hand to mouth
Hand to mouth, hand to mouth, hand to mouth
There’s a big white lady
On a big white doorstep
She asked her daddy and her daddy said ,yes”
Has to give a little for the dollars that we get
Has to give a little -
They say it’s for the best
Somebody shouted
Maybe
But they kept on living from hand to mouth
Hand to mouth, hand to mouth, hand to mouth
So she ran to the arms of America
And she kissed the powers that be
And someone told me
(Someone told me)
That the gods believe in nothing
So with empty hands I pray
And I tell myself
One day
They just might see me …
All Alone - Gorillaz
All alone

Leviticus
Oh, Deuteronomy
Snatch a piece of my wonderin’
Distant firelight in yonder inn
Skin of my tooth like
Seat of my boot like
Fly in my soup like
Where’s the waitress?
Can I take this, really, can I finish this?
These years and all these creatures
It’s my mistake, i’ll make it
J-dub to the boom now make it
Bounce-wiggle bounce-wiggle
Shakin’ all them pains out
Chemical cutthroats
Bound to blow the brains out
Cut to the brain
This ain’t no game
I’ll show no shame
I’ll birth this blame
I’m twisted Caine
I’ll twist again
I’ll push the blade
As plain as day
Known to what these sayers say and
Known to what these doers do
It’s you-know-who and you-know-where
We’s about to take it there
We’s about to make it clear
We happy or we lonesome
The long jump, the beat heart, from start to finish
Ten spoons of spinach
The soul and the spillage
The cup that runneth over
Return of the ogre
All alone
(all alone)
Close your eyes and see
When there ain’t no light
All you’ll ever be
Come and save the night
Cause I don’t believe
When the morning comes, it doesn’t
Seem to say an awful lot to me
All alone
(all alone)
I see the end
I see the end of time
From the widow’s walk
I feel the undertow
It grows
And my fishin’ pole
Like a willow bends
Toward the blackest hole
See the film
See the black and whites
Circle stationed
Stupid to the tape that rolls
My soul receives another blow
From the flashlight of the city hate line
I wish you well
I tell you that it can be helped
I told you it can be helped
I see the bad dreams
That you speak about
And all the things you bring to light
Are comin’ down now
Everybody hit the ground
Fear is on the march
And in the lost and found
These are the times
To read between the lines
Yea, my Truck runneth over
False prophet signs
And road blocks
Newspaper cloaks
To wrap the truth
Propagan-acid dropped on the youth
It’s easy to see
Like pulling a tooth
No one in line
In the ballot booth
The Dragon down south
May blow some smoke
Even the Jester
Is drummin’ up votes
They talk about building morale
And hope
They’re just building bigotry
A better rope
One that won’t break
One you can’t even see
One made of paper
And policies
I wish you well
Tell ya that it can be helped
Told you it can be helped
It can be helped
Oh but it can be helped.
