Under the Spell of the Handout - Cody ChesnuTT

Walking on a path of perdition

I see the smoke stacks in my periphery

I’ve been all the time spewing the residue

Of the working classes' faith in democracy

Church house tilting on that banknote

Attracting folk would give me some money, Lord yea

Three piece snack is riding on a 3 minute song with that horse hat

kinda like I’m hungry

For freedom, but I don’t know how to eat that bread

Because I’m…

Under the spell of the handout

Under the spell of the handout

I adore the gold and cash

I’d go for treason is that will increase my pay

Because I’m…

Under the spell of the handout

Under the spell of the handout

Give me my share please man

25 years to life, a new degree, new occupation

Since it’s good, quantify the desperation, bailing the hungry

And the beaten all across the dreaming USA, they ball

Under the spell of the handout

Under the spell of the handout

Give me my share

Lord, give me my share

I heard the plea’s and cries

Give me a voice, give me my mind back

But give me the floor or give me some room

Gotta take it (take take take it)

(Take it — demand it)

I heard the pleas and cries

Make me the choice

Let me in the caste

Give my poor son and daughter a pass

You got to take it, got to take it

Sometimes you got to ask yourself

What am I feedin' on?

What am I steppin' in?

What am I givin' up, givin' up now?

What am I depending on

What do I represent here?

What am I thinking of now?

Under the spell of the handout

Under the spell of the handout

I adore the gold and cash

I’d go for treason if that will increase my pay

Cause I’m under (the spell of the handout)

I’m under (the spell of the handout)

Oh I’m hungry for a freedom if that will

Gimme gimme gimme (Under the spell of the handout)

Gimme gimme gimme (Under the spell of the handout)

And I’m gone
