Lyrics:

I've got some things to say about the American way
And a trap I'm afraid we're all gonna fall down into
If you need a job done, they'll take your money and run
Too many folks don't give a damn, if they help you

Now don't y'all get me wrong, this is not a judgement song
You know I've hurt a lot of folks myself along the way
But as I go from town to town I see the same thing goin' down
They don't give a damn about the job but they do about the pay

Give a damn about your job, don't you let the devil rob
Take pride in anything that you sign your name to
Let's forget about the banker, let's try to help our neighbors
America, I'm askin' you to... give a damn

They used to give you thirty days if you had a bill to pay
But now they wanna get the money fast as they can
Well, that's all right with me, if it's like it's supposed to be
But too many times it ain't and they just don't give a damn

Give a damn about your job don't you let the devil rob
Take pride in anything that you sign your name to
Well forget about the banker and try to help your neighbor
America, I'm askin' you to... give a damn

Give a damn about your job, don't you let the devil rob
Take pride in anything that you sign your name to
Give a damn about your maker he might also be your taker
Americans, I'm askin' you to... give a damn

This a gospel song, there's a right way and there's a wrong
Why don't you help your neighbor or... do you give a damn
