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
