Tom T. Hall - Too Many Do-Goods lyrics

We got too many do goods and not enough hard working men We got too many hands out and not enough lendin' a hand We got too many thinkers looking for the answer in the wind Hey we got too many do goods and not enough hard working men We got poets and prophets and some folks are readin' the stars If we'd look a little closer to home we might find who we are We got all kinds of sermons in booklets and pamphlets on sin Hey we got too many do goods and not enough hard working men We got too many do goods... We got clubs and committees who know all about wrong and right Oh but I've seen some children who starved plumb to d**h on advice I appreciate your sympathy and I believe in missionary work But a little bit of bendin' down and pickin' up your brother wouldn't hurt We got too many do goods...
