[Verse 1] In the land of milk and honey It's 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 What's becoming of our brothers Every time, every time that we hear [Chorus] Brother I'm hungry I can't afford to eat Brother it's cold outside Living rough on the streets [Verse 2] 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's gonna lie While this begs the question How long before you and I say [Chorus] Brother I'm hungry I can't afford to eat Brother it's cold outside Living rough out here on the streets Brother I'm hungry I can't afford to eat Brother it's cold outside Living rough out here on the streets
