Welfare Bread Lyrics

Baby, something I can't teach you
This life, you got to take things easy

So said my lady
Watching the hours go by
While she's feeding her flowers
Hiding the tears of her eyes

You don't have to pay your pills anymore now!
You just have to eat my welfare bread
If I told you that your heart belongs to me now
Did you hold your head up high in the air?

Woo-sha-la-la-la
Woo-sha-la-la-la

Baby, it's something my mind can't stand
To see you with lonesome displeasure

You're mine for a reason
To share the pleasures of life
Bear the fruits of the season
And watch away with the tides

You don't have to pay your bills anymore now!
You just have to eat my welfare bread
If I told you that your heart belongs to me now
Did you hold your head up high in the air?

You don't have to pay your bills anymore now!
You just have to eat my welfare bread
If I told you that your heart belongs to me now
Did you hold your head up high in the air?

Woo-sha-la-la-la
Woo-sha-la-la-la

Lyric Correction
Cover art for Welfare Bread lyrics by King Khan & The Shrines

"You don't have to pay your pills anymore now!" sounds like "You don't have to pay your BILLS anymore now!" to me.

Also, I think "To see you with lonesome displeasure" is actually "To see you with lonesome DISPAIR"
