Pass the Buck

Everybody, don't you need help?
Gotta be, it's the will

Why, are there so many silent people, in the world today?
Don't they know that we all got to eat? (Got to eat)
How do they expect a hungry child to sleep? (Hungry child to sleep)
I'm tired of living in poverty
I've got to move out, from my family

When you're down on your luck (oh-oh-oh)
Don't you know? You gotta pass the Buck (oh-yeah, get it off me)
Give it up (come on, give it up, yeah-yeah-yeah)
When you're down on your luck (oh)
Don't you know? You gotta pass the Buck (oh-yeah)
Give it up

Oh, looking for a job that I know you won't find (find)
Tired of standing in that welfare line (line)
Ain't got no money in my pockets to spend
Loan me a dollar 'til I see you again, friend

Why, why can't every millionaire, oh-yeah
Help somebody who really needs help? (Needs help)
Instead of thinking of themselves (of themselves)
No one man is an island
You didn't get to the top all by yourself

When you're down on your luck (oh-oh-oh)
Don't you know? You gotta pass the Buck (get it off me)
Give it up (get it off me, oh-oh-oh, uh)
When you're down on your luck
Don't you know? You gotta pass the Buck (give it up)
Give it up (give it up, oh)

Pass the dollar, oh
We want that money
Millionaire, don't you care? Oh

Well, why can't every millionaire, oh-yeah
Help somebody who really needs help? (Needs help)
Instead of thinking of themselves (of themselves)
No one man is an island
You didn't get to the top all by yourself

When you're down on your luck (oh-no-no-no-no)
Don't you know? You gotta pass the Buck (give it up)
Give it up (that's enough y'all, yeah)
When you're down on your luck
Don't you know? You gotta pass the Buck (get it off me, put it on him)
Give it up (oh-oh-oh)

When you're down on your luck (oh, my baby)
Don't you know? You gotta pass the Buck (catch the money)
Give it up (get it together, everybody)
When you're down on your luck
Don't you know? You gotta pass the Buck (oh, don't you bring it on the scene)
Give it up (come on, why don't you help somebody)

When you're down on your luck (oh-oh-oh)
Don't you know? You gotta pass the Buck (I need your love, pass the ball, y'all)
Give it up (come one y'all, come on out, come on down, yeah-yeah)
Ay! Uh-huh, yeah

When you're down on your luck (oh)
Don't you know? You gotta pass the Buck (ah, stop it)
Give it up (I ain't got no money in my pocket)
When you're down on your luck (oh, don't go down on our game)
Don't you know? You gotta pass the Buck (ooh)
Give it up (oh, I give it up to my feet)

When you're down on your luck (hey baby, hey baby)
Don't you know? You gotta pass the Buck (lend me a hand)
Give it up (give me a helping hand, let the money get to us)
When you're down on your luck
Don't you know? You gotta pass the Buck (catch the money everybody)
Give it up (oh! Take a chance, baby)

When you're down on your luck
Don't you know? You gotta pass the Buck
Give it up (ooh, for the family)
When you're down on your luck (oh-oh)
Don't you know? You gotta pass the Buck (ooh, yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah)
Give it up (everywhere you go)

When you're down on your luck
Don't you know? You gotta pass the Buck (give i up, give it up)
Give it up (don't you wanna help? Please come on then)
When you're down on your luck (oh-no-no-no)
Don't you know? You gotta pass the Buck (oh, don't you bring it on the scene)
Give it up (help me, help me, help me)
When you're down
