No Heat

My mind goes back to nineteen-seventy-four
Lining up at that unemployment door
Tempreture's dropping and we ain't got no heat
The things you do when you just wanna eat
Rich or poor they're just worlds apart
I've got a feelin' that we're livin' in a world with no heart

But there is one thing that I'd like to say
You and I know there's gotta be a better way
Too many people with no food and no heat
Too many people forced to live on the street
Rich or poor they're just worlds apart
I've got a feelin' that we're livin' in a world with no heart

No heat, no heat, no heat, to many people livin' on the street
No heat, no heat, no heat, to many people in the street
No heat, no heat, no heat, to many people livin' on the street
No heat, no heat, no heat, to many people in the street
No heat, no heat, no heat, to many people livin' on the street
No heat, no heat, no heat, to many people in the street
No heat, no heat, no heat, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

The president he's been known to say
There ain't no homeless in the whole of the USA
He doesn't care about what we want
He has ebverything and we have not
He's just a fat cat in a presidential suite
He don't know what it's like to be livin' in the street

No heat, no heat, no heat, to many people livin' on the street
No heat, no heat, no heat, to many people in the street
No heat, no heat, no heat, to many people livin' on the street
No heat, no heat, no heat, to many people in the street
No heat, no heat, no heat, to many people livin' on the street
No heat, no heat, no heat, to many people in the street
No heat, no heat, no heat, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Chorous
Mister President: This is your future calling - You haven't paid your bills lately

We want the best for every woman and man
We want it all and that's our one and only demand
Some people think that they can own all the land
That owning land makes them more of a man
We've gotta let them know it's not that way
We've gotta let them know an' we've gotta make a start today

No heat, no heat, no heat, to many people livin' on the street
No heat, no heat, no heat, to many people in the street
No heat, no heat, no heat, to many people livin' on the street
No heat, no heat, no heat, to many people in the street
No heat, no heat, no heat, to many people livin' on the street
No heat, no heat, no heat, to many people in the street
No heat, no heat, no heat, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
