Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Come to my aid, you're sweet as everything
Come to my aid, I'd give you everything
I feel so betrayed by people I love
Come to my aid, it's you I'm thinkin' of
[Verse 2]
Oh, yeah
You, I'm thinkin' of
Oh, yeah
[Verse 3]
Prouder than wild, sad enough to sing
Oh, hear me now
Come to my aid, and care for social living
Aw, you better care now
[Verse 4]
Why are we liable to die for survival?
Why is our nation divided?
Come to my aid, come to my aid
Come to my aid, come to my aid
[Verse 5]
In the poverty stakes, see just what it means?
Look out enough
When welfare decimates, you better care
About your fellow people
[Verse 6]
Well, why are we liable to die for survival?
Why is our nation divided?
Come to my aid, come to my aid
Come to my aid, come to my aid
[Verse 7]
(Come to) my aid
(Come to) my aid
(Come to) my aid
(Come to) my aid
[Verse 8]
Oh, man
Yeah
Whoa, now
[Verse 9]
Come on board now
Come on board now
Come on board now
Come on board now
[Verse 10]
You'd better come on board now
You'd better come on board now
You'd better come on board now
You'd better come on board now
[Verse 11]
You'd better come on board
Come on board, come on board, come on board
Come on board, come on board, come on board, come on board
(Come to my aid)
Come on board, come on board, come on board, come on board
(Come to my aid)
Come on board, come on board, come on board, come on board
(Come to my aid)
Come to my aid, come to my aid, come to my aid
