lyrics

Can you feed yourself with a clever line
The words you painted on your cardboard sign
Cracking a smile, pullin’ on those heartstrings
Can you earn the 25 cents that it brings

Whiskey and wine can swallow the time
The pain and loneliness so easy to find
The calories you burn, the money that you’ve earned
Will you eat or drink when your stomach starts to churn

And when your digging through the filth
and the trash, and the hidden broken glass
Just to find you last meal
And when your choking on the flies and the stench and you couldn’t speak a sentence
Could you look another man in the eye

Does your family know where you are
Did they lose hope when you wandered so far
Idleness makes the days run the same
Could you even tell me your name

What were your dreams when you were young
Before the cigarettes scorched your lungs
Before the drugs ate your mind
Were they to feed yourself with a cardboard sign
