ARE YOU HOMELESS?

If you can just get your shit together
then come on across the street to me.
We’ll make signs and then we’ll hold them up high
for the whole world to see.

But first, are you homeless?
Have you ever been homeless?
Well, I am.

Well I know, I know you probably want to die
‘cuz the whole world just let you down.
But who in your fucked up little world
are you to trying to impress with your -
“I’m much too old and I can’t be bold”?

So ah, are you homeless?
Have you ever been homeless?
Well, I am.

Punk kids and violence I can see in the shadows
I hear they’re looking to maim.
Maybe now you can’t feel them, but you will
when they just set your blanket aflame.
