But to see both sides of a quarrel Is to judge without haste or alarm
Oh, oh, helpless and slow And you don't have anywhere to go
You take away homes from the homeless And leave them to die in the cold The gypsy who begs for your presents He will laugh in your face when you're old
Oh, oh, helpless and slow And you don't have anywhere to go
Well one man he drinks up his whiskey Another he drinks up his wine And they'll drink ‘till their eyes are red with hate For those of a different kind
Oh, oh, helpless and slow And you don't have anywhere to go
When the rivers run thicker than trouble I'll be there at your side in the flood T'was all I could do to keep myself From taking revenge on your blood
Oh, oh, helpless and slow And you don't have anywhere to go Oh, oh, helpless and slow And you don't have anywhere to go
