Cardboard sign old and bent says, friend for life, 25 cents
When did this start making sense?
Man, it's really getting cold
Sometimes I forget things and I get confused
I could still be working, but they refuse
Now I'm living with the bums and the whores
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, you'll 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 complaining, 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 raining
Homeless, get away from here don't give them
No money they'll just spend it on beer
Homeless, will work for food, you'll 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
Ah, you never really have control
Sometimes you just gotta let it go
When the final line unfolds, it don't always rhyme
