Charity Begins At Home Lyrics - 10 Cc

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 

but when your conscience pricks 

a little sacrifice sweetens the pill 

so keep your hands in your pockets 

charity begins at home 

keep your hands in your pockets 

charity won't leave you alone 

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 

`cos business is business 

and hits are the name of the game 

so keep your hands in your pockets 

charity begins at home 

keep your hands in your pockets 

charity won't leave you alone 

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 

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 

keep your hands in your pockets 

charity begins at home 

keep your hands in your pockets 

charity won't leave you alone 

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 

keep your hands in your pockets 

charity begins at home 

keep your hands in your pockets 

charity won't leave you alone 

(repeat 5x)
