The Hurt Is On - O.V. Wright

Hurt is on

Stronger than strong, now

The food stamp line

Loaded longer than long, now

Two hundred thousand people

Lost their jobs last week

Somebody please tell me

How they’re gonna make ends meet

Prices going higher (Higher and higher)

All over the nation

People every day now

Living in starvation

Oh, oh, oh, the heavens

(Hurt is on)

Down to the bone

(Down to the bone)

Home after home

(Home after home)

Its the same sad song

(Its the same sad song)

The whole human race

Seems like a house to strangers

Even in your own home

You’re still in danger

(Danger)

If we’re gonna stop (Stop, stop)

All this pain and hurt

(Hurt)

We need more love

All over this earth

All over earth

Stronger than strong, now

(Stronger than strong)

Down to the bone

(Down to the bone)

Lord, it make me wanna moan

Ooo-ooh

(Hurt, hurt, hurt, hurt, hurt, hurt, hurt, hurt, hurt, hurt, hurt, hurt is on)

Down to the bone

(Down to the bone)

It makes me wanna moan

(Mmmm)

Its stronger than strong

(Stronger than strong)

Even got the rich man

Squeezing dimes

The move is start to walking

The unemployment line

Hurt is on

Oh, the hurt is on

(The hurt is on)

Hurt is on

Whoo, the hurt is on

(Hurt is o-oo-oonn, the hurt is on)

(Hurt is o-oo-oonn, the hurt is on)

Even the days

Have come to pass

Where the millionaires

Pumping their own gas

I’m talking 'bout the hurt (hurt)

Oh, I’m talking 'bout the hurt (hurt)

Oh, the hurt, hurt, hurt

Hurt is on

I can hardly eat

When I buy a little bread

Can’t even buy no meat

Oh, the hurt is on

Down to the bone, now

The food stamp line

Is longer than long

My family’s suffering

Oh, my babies crying

Is it getting harder

I’m gonna have to join the line

Hah, the hurt is on (oo-oo-oon)

Hurt is on

(Hurt, hurt, hurt, hurt)

The hurt is on

Good God Almighty

(The hurt is on)
