You can be a hero for just 80 cents a day
That's less than the price of a cup of coffee
Save a starving soul in a third world land
Because the cup runeth over on domestic sands

I don't need to watch tv
To see no hungry faces staring back at me,
While my neighborhood's enchained in poverty
Yeah what about them and what about me

Give to the poor and they'll just want more
Then one day they might just have enough to even out the score
You get a fat tax break when you give to charities
Breaking off the man next door who's trying to feed his family

I don't need to watch tv
To see no hungry faces staring back at me,
While my neighborhood's enchained in poverty
Yeah what about them and what about me

Homeless people here a just a bunch of lazy slobs
"Hey can ya spare a quarter?" No go get a fucking job!
But what happened to the jobs in the good old USA?
Sold out to foreign labor for just 80 cents a day

I don't need to watch tv
To see no hungry faces staring back at me,
While my neighborhood's enchained in poverty
Yeah what about them and what about me
