Now whatcha gonna do When the welfare turn it's back on you? Whatcha gonna do When the welfare turn it's back on you? You'll be standin' there stranded And there won't be a thing you can do Now, you look all through your house, yeah Yes and you can't even find a piece of bread You look all through your house, I know you do Yes, you can't even find a piece of bread I sometimes begin to wonder, yeah Yes, if you'd be better off, be better off dead Lord have mercy You have to go down to the welfare Every month to report And some of the things they say to you Will sure enough get your goat If you tell them that you're sick You better have a bad cough, Lord have mercy 'Cause if you don't, they'll be ready to throw you off I know they will Whatcha gonna do, Lord have mercy When the welfare turns its back on you? Yeah, you'll be standin' there stranded Yeah, and there ain't a thing that you can do
