Feel No Pain Nelle Hooper Remix by Sade Lyrics

Mama been laid off
Papa been laid off
My brother's been laid off
For more than two years now
Ooh can't get a job
Billy can't get a job (Oh yeah)
Ooh, they gotta listen to the blues
Help them to strive
Help them to move on
Help them to have some future
Help them to live long
Help them to live life
Help them to smile
Don't let them stay home and listen to the blues

Papa been laid off (Papa)
Mama been laid off (Mama)
Billy can't get a job
For too long, too long
Don't let them lose
We gotta give them a chance
It's gonna come back on everyone
If you don't make them dance
Don't let them stay home and listen to the blues
'Cause nothing's sacred (why)
Breathing hatred (why)
Oh yeah yeah
We have to face it (why)
No one can take it (why)
And feel no pain (feel no pain)

Mama been laid off
Papa been laid off
My brother's been laid off
For more than two years now
Ooh, can't get a job
Billy can't get a job
Ooh, they gotta listen to the blues

Help them to strive
Help them to move on
Help them to have some future
Help them to live long
Help them to live life
Help them to smile
Don't let them stay home and listen to the blues

One day we're gonna wake up
And the ghetto's all around
All over, my friend
Have you ever seen a man break down?
Do you know how that feels?
To walk the street with your head held high
(With your head held high)

Why, why, why
And feel no pain

Ooh, did you ever see a man break down?
