Invisible

Standing on the corner with my paper cup
 Nickels dimes and quarters, never near enough
 The busy people walk on by, never look me in the eye
 I've become expendable, untouchable, invisible
 Sign I carry says I'll work for anything
 Was a time when I could make that hammer scream
 I was young and I was strong, always thought I get along
 But I've become, expendable, untouchable, invisible
 I can understand, why you don't want to see a man
 Whose fallen this far down and out, might give you room for doubt
 I can sympathize, that if you looked into my eyes
 You might see yourself on the other side of hope
 Expendable, untouchable, invisible
 I can understand, why you don't want to see a man
 Whose fallen this far down and out, might give you room for doubt
 I can sympathize, that if you looked into my eyes
 You might see yourself on the other side of hope
 If you see me on the roadside, please don't look away
 I got something precious, to give to you today
 So take a poor man's sympathy, the gift of never being me
 Expendable, untouchable, invisible
 May you never be, expendable, untouchable, invisible
