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
