How long have you been sitting there just waiting away?
How long do you see yourself just lying there?
Didnt you have a dream?
Didnt you have a life to lead
Way back when my friend
Wish that I knew now
What I knew back then
Cause' I'd be alright my friend
Squatting in squallors feeling hollow
Fighting the world alone
A low hobo with not enough doe
To ease the ache in his bones
If only life was like
When he was a child
He'd be alright my friend
Arrr.........
Begging in doorways
Under the scrutiny
Of people passing me by
Judging my life with sympathetic eyes
But never extending a hand
Everyday s the same
No one ever helps to ease my pain
Arrrr.............
