[Verse 1]
Every time I feel the need
(Every time I feel the need)
To use what I got to get what I want
(Use what I got to get what I want)
My people so in dire need
(Dire need)
Damned if we do and damned if we don't
(Damned if we do and don't)
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh-le-oh, we're passing through fire and hell
Oh-le-oh, there's talk of another fidel
[Chorus]
Mama says
She sees
The sign on the wall, mama says
[Post-Chorus]
Oh-le-oh, we're passing through fire and hell
Oh-le-oh, she talks of another fidel
(She talks)
(She talks of another fidel)
[Verse 2]
Every time I see man's greed
Taking what one can others be damned
My people, my people feel the strain
Struggling, struggling, struggling to understand the pain
(Stru-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-ggling)
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh-le-oh, we're passing through fire and hell
Oh-le-oh, there's talk of another fidel
[Chorus]
Mama says
She sees
The sign on the wall, mama says
[Post-Chorus]
Oh-le-oh, we're passing through fire and hell
Oh-le-oh, she talks of another fidel
(She talks, talks, talks, talks, talks about)
(Another fidel)
