Album: Slapstick
homeless guy i walk by every single day
he seems so nice but people always turn away
one day i stood with him and we talked for a whilehe seemed so happy but he had sadness in his smile
I shook his hand and he said "thank you very much cuz sometimes conversation's just as good as a donation"
I didnt understand until he looked at me and said"millions like me are freezing tonite, and no one cares if we live or die
change in my cup gives me a couple bucks to spend but I'd rather be treated like a person again"
as i stood with him a business man walked up a winning smile and threw a wad of gum into his cup
I was so angry that i ran and chased him down
I tapped him on the shoulder and he turned around
I shook my head and said "youre a fucking dick" he turned pale and asked me what the fuck i meant
he'll never understand but still I pointed back and said
"millions like him are freezing tonight and no one cares if they live or die
change in his cup gives him a couple bucks to spend but he'd rather be treated like a person again"
