Lyrics

There's cardboard sign old and bent, says "Friend for Life 25¢"
 When did this start makin' 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 livin' with the bums, the whores and the abused
 Man I hate gettin' old
 Homeless, get away from here
 Don't give 'em no money. they just spend it on beer
 Homeless, we'll work for food
 You'll do anything that you gotta do when you're homeless
 ♪
 Betty sings a song that no one hears
 The wind begins to freeze her tears
 She says, "God it's been so many years"
 She's way past complainin'
 She sings a heartfelt melody
 One that begs for harmony
 Yeah it's not what she thought it'd be
 But hey it could be rainin'
 Homeless, get away from here
 Don't give 'em no money, they just spend it on beer
 Homeless, we'll 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 healin', cause you're going to get hurt
 You can lose your faith, you can lose your shirt
 Lose your way some time
 Ah, you never really have control
 Sometimes you just gotta let it go
 When the final line unfolds
 It don't always rhyme
 Homeles,s get away from here
 Don't give 'em no money, they just spend it on beer
 Homeless, will work for food
 You'll do anything that you gotta do, when you're homeless
 Homeless, get away from here
 Don't give 'em no money, they just spend it on beer
 Homeless, will work for food
 You'll do anything that you gotta do, when you're homeless
 Cardboard sign old and bent, says "Friend for Life 25¢"
