[Bono, Carl Perkins, Willie Nelson, Tom Petty, Johnny Cash - Give Me Back My Job lyrics]
I can't use no diamond ring
I want the right just to live mister
Give me back my job again
I don't want your Rolls Royce mister
I can't use your pleasure yacht
I want some food for these children
Give me back my job again
We work to build this country mister
While you enjoy your life of ease
And you steal all that we build mister
See them folks, they starve and freeze
I don't want your millions mister
I can't use no diamond ring
I want the right to live mister
Give me back my job again
No I don't want your millions mister
I can't use no diamond ring
I want the right to live mister
Give me back My job again
I don't want your food stamps mister
And that welfare line don't interest me
Give me a chance to earn my wages
And give me back my old job please
Songwriters: Carl Perkins, Johnny Cash
Bono, Willie Nelson and Tom Petty
