Charity Begins at Home

[Verse 1] A shake of the tin The money drops in But is it a sin? You're standing in rags You're selling your flags But who gets the dough At the end of the day? We saw your drop-dead fancy wheels Your little house up on the hill When your conscience pricks A little sacrifice sweetens the pill [Chorus] So keep your hands in your pockets Charity begins at home Keep your hands in your pockets Charity won't leave you alone [Verse 2] We take to the stage The audience rave We're doing our bit A heavenly cast A blast from the past There's a song to be sung Will it make number one? We wanna see your money roll But our eyes are on the hall of fame 'Cause business is business Hits are the name of the game [Chorus] So keep your hands in your pockets Charity begins at home Keep your hands in your pockets Charity won't leave you alone [Bridge] Everywhere that we turn There are mouths to be fed How can we sleep? The battle goes on While we're safe in our beds So don't turn away No don't turn away [Verse 3] Your doors are locked You switch on the box To take in a show You think that you're safe But here comes that face And wouldn't you know It's that message again They want to take your plastic cash Your hand reaches out to the phone Keep your hands in your pockets Charity begins at home [Chorus] Keep your hands in your pockets Charity begins at home Keep your hands in your pockets Charity won't leave you alone [Bridge] Everywhere that we turn There are mouths to be fed How can we sleep? The battle goes on While we're safe in our beds So don't turn away No don't turn away [Chorus] Keep your hands in your pockets Charity begins at home Keep your hands in your pockets Charity won't leave you alone Keep your hands in your pockets Charity begins at home Keep your hands in your pockets Charity won't leave you alone Keep your hands in your pockets Charity begins at home Keep your hands in your pockets Charity won't leave you alone Keep your hands in your pockets Charity begins at home Keep your hands in your pockets Charity won't leave you alone
