Words & Music by Richard Atkinson & Joe LaMay
An old man's sittin' quiet on a cold north country farm
His wife is in the kitchen - she's trying to keep warm
The light bill came last Monday - food is gettin' low
No money left to pay for more - they have no place to go
The doctors and the nurses have given all they can
She lays awake night after night and worries for an end
Without the pills she gives him there's a chance that he could die
And there's one pill left in the bottle - and she lets out a sigh
One pill left in the bottle and they can't afford no more
Another billion overseas to try and help the poor
Mom and Dad are strugglin' - trying to get along
Politicians pass them by for a nickel and a song
There's enough here from our government if you qualify
They'll make you an offer and you won't have to die
Just give them all your freedom - they'll see that you get well
They old man looked from where he lays - says they can go to hell
And now it's four months later - she's kneelin' by his side
The preacher reads his favorite verse and he looks so dignified
And as they gave their last goodbye the preacher called a prayer
He shuts his eyes and fades away - she cries in despair
One pill left in the bottle and they can't afford no more
Another billion overseas to try and help the poor
Mom and Dad are strugglin' - trying to get along
Politicians pass them by for a nickel and a song
One pill left in the bottle and they can't afford no more
Another billion overseas to try and help the poor
Mom and Dad are strugglin' - trying to get along
Politicians pass them by for a nickel and a song
Politicians pass them by and they all know it's wrong
