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...will 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

Yah 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...will work for food

You'll do anything 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



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



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
