The Vegabonds - Help is on the Way Lyrics

He lost his job back in 2008
The market crashed, they blamed it on the banks
He said, God save the middle class, God save the poor
These one percenters they only want more

And I ain't coming back till everything gets straightened out
I ain't coming back till help is on the way

He drank the year away 2010
He held the bottle like it was his only friend
And all the screaming, she took off her ring
She cried and said I need some time to think

And I ain't coming back till everything gets straightened out
I ain't coming back till help is on the way

He took some time back in 2012
When he checked in to better himself
He said, these steps are steep for a stubborn man
But I'll keep on climbing and stick to the plan

And I ain't coming back till everything gets straightened out
I ain't coming back till help is on the way
No I ain't coming back, I ain't coming back
Till everything gets straightened out
I ain't coming back, I ain't coming back
Till help is on the way
