10cc ~ Charity Begins At Home


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) more free lyrics

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

Globalized Sounds

Today, beautiful European and American music, an Afrobeats recorded in Lagos, can play in headphones in Tokyo; a South Korean idol group can fill an Argentine stadium to capacity. On Spotify, the playback volume of African music has increased by 500% in five years; K-pop has already transcended the Asian border and become a common language for young people all over the world; Latin music has consistently topped the streaming charts for several consecutive years. The world is getting smaller while the scope of music is expanding.

The Power of the Scene

When the lights dim and the first note is played, strangers become synchronized. The tremor when thousands sing together, and the melody that still echoes after the crowd disperses - this is an experience that no screen can convey. We look forward to the return of large-scale concerts to the essence of music, and we also look forward to small livehouses continuing to nourish the most vibrant soil of music.

Crossing Borders

Music transcends languages - even if you don't understand the lyrics, you can still shed tears or dance. It transcends cultures - the drumbeats of Nigeria and the chants of Iceland coexist under the same sky. It transcends generations - a song from half a century ago can still bring tears to the eyes of today's young people.

We Create Together

The future of global music is not determined by algorithms, nor is it monopolized by a few giants. It is shaped by every person who presses the play button. Maintain your curiosity, step out of your comfort zone. Support independent musicians and attend live performances. Seek connections through music - because we believe that a song can change a day, and music can change the world.
