Lady Madonna

I think this song is about single mother on welfare.

Lady Madonna, children at your feet Wonder how you manage to make ends meet
Who find the money when you pay the rent She has no idea the money comes from Did you think that money was heaven sent the tax payers

Friday night arrives without a suitcase Another boy friend who is not going to stay Sunday morning creeping like a nun Going to church on sundays for more hand-out Monday's child has learned to tie his Her older children are getting street smart bootlegs See how they run they runing from the cops

Lady Madonna, baby at your breast Wonders how you manage to feed the rest she has no idea who is going to take care of Pa pa pa pa... her kids. See how they run

Lady Madonna lying on the bed This is the saturday, she is partying with the new Listen to the music playing in your head boy friend, lying in the bed, listening to the music, while she is giving head

Tuesday afternoon is never ending She is out of money, waiting inpatiently for her check

Wednesday morning papers didn't come The welfare check did not show up Thursday night you stocking needed No money, she has to do with what she has. mending See how they run

Lady Madonna, children at your feet Wonder how you manage to make ends meet
