Brother, I’m Hungry - Snarky Puppy, Nigel Hall, NOLA International

In the land of milk and honey

Its hard to understand

Them that hold the power

In the palm of their hand

And have no comprehension

Of what it means to be

Standing at the mercy

Of begging and defeat

So all you unworthy sinners

Without a pin to your name

Looking up at someone new

Writes the rules to the game

But we stand with no one among us

And watch without a tear

Whats becoming of our brothers

Every time, every time that we hear

Brother I’m hungry

I can’t afford to eat

Brother its cold outside

Living rough on the streets

In the land of milk and honey

We all riding high

We got our little fortune

We got our piece of the pie

While my brothers got a worry

Bout where his head is gonna lie

While this begs the question

How long before you and I say

Brother I’m hungry

I can’t afford to eat

Brother its cold outside

Living rough out here on the streets

Brother I’m hungry

I can’t afford to eat

Brother its cold outside

Living rough out here on the streets
