Intro: Cardboard sign old and bent says 'friend for life 25 cents When did this start making sense, Man it's getting cold Sometimes I forget things and get confused Could still be working, but they refuse Now I'm living with the bums and the abused, man I hate getting old Homeless, get away from here don't give them no money they'll just spend it on beer Homeless, will work for food, do anything that you gotta do, when you're homeless. Betty sings a song that no one hears, as the wind begins to freeze her tears She says 'God it's been so many years', she's way past complain'n She sings a heartfelt melody, one that begs for harmony No it's not what she thought it would be, but hey it could be rainin Homeless, get away from here don't give them no money they'll just spend it on beer Homeless, will work for food, do anything that you gotta do, when you're homeless. You know life ain't easy it takes work, it takes healing cause you're gonna get hurt You can lose your faith you can lose your shirt, lose your way sometimes You never really have control, sometimes you just gotta let go When the final line unfolds, it don't always rhyme Homeless, get away from here don't give them no money they'll just spend it on beer Homeless, will work for food, do anything that you gotta do, when you're homeless. Get away from here don't give them no money they'll just spend it on beer Homeless, will work for food, do anything that you gotta do, when you're homeless.
