They'll
never call
I believe
they like me least of all
Cause I've
nothing to give
No one
would ever benefit
But at
least they're not hiding it
Free soup
today
But they'll
go hungry anyway
So why even
try
Who has the
time when life just
Keeps
screaming by?
But at
least they'll look you in the eye
But at
least they'll look you in the eye
The
homeless and the coke heads
They live
bad but honestly
Between
believers and deceivers
Still where
I long to be
Free
condoms and other problems
A drug
infested neighborhood
Though it's
seedy, they never judged me
I knew
where I stood in Hollywood
I knew
where I stood in Hollywood
Grass, cash
or gas
No one
rides for free
Expect
charity
From one
who has more than she
But she'll
tell you all this openly
Man on the
run
The viewers
think it's so much fun
Although
we've seen it before
It was live
last night on Channel 4
By the
week's end
We'll have
seen some more
By the
week's end
We'll have
seen some more
The poor
kids and the coke heads
Never
looking down at me
The
earthquakes and the mistakes
Still where
I long to be
Free
condoms and other problems
Well, Id
rather be a beggar in a place that counts
Than have
to be the mayor of this two-horse town
Where they
all know me by name and know just where Ive been
The rumors
started flying on the day I moved in
Just on the
day I moved in
And the day
I moved in was.
Just
yesterday
Now it
seems so far away
But someday
Ill go
Back to the
place
You think their standards are low
But they taught
me everything I know
Yes they
taught me everything I know
The poor
kids and the coke heads
Never
looking down at me
The
earthquakes and the mistakes
Still where
I long to be
Free
condoms and other problems
