Welfare Symphony
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Welfare workers
Prying into her life
Was she really someone's wife
And where was he
She often cried as they left her without a shred of pride
She had so many things to think about
So many children to feed
She had need of something that would ease her mind
(Store-front religion--play the numbers)
She had trouble in her time
She had so much trouble in her time
