Livelihood Songtext
von The Katy

Uncle Sam, Uncle Tom I can be good
Tell me what I′ve got to do so I can keep my livelihood

Livelihood Please don't take my Livelihood
Livelihood Please don′t take my Livelihood

I met my dreams at the door, where I met you
Clad with the rod of naivety for the backs of fools
Ask me how I have the tenacity to stand like I do
Put the weight of the world around my neck, fashioned like a noose


Livelihood Please don't take my Livelihood
Livelihood Please don't take my Livelihood

Livelihood Please don′t take my Livelihood
Livelihood Please don′t take my Livelihood

All that alluding to pulling one's self up by the bootstraps
How can I even begin, keep getting cut at the caps
Is it wrong for me to kneel when my knees are being bent from the backs
Or am I just to be your pawn for entertainment

Livelihood. Please don′t take my Livelihood
Livelihood. Please don't take my Livelihood


Livelihood. Please don′t take my Livelihood
Livelihood. Please don't take my Livelihood
