lyrics

Leather skin, eyes like pits,
All day long upon the floor he sits,
Empty cup clutched in his grubby mitts,
Treated like a piece of human shit,
Inhaling dust from feet of passers-by,
No-one deigns to look him in the eye.
Getting hassled and moved on by the pigs,
Criminalised for trying to blag cigs,
The law instructs us not to give -
‘Begging is a crime’
You don’t deserve to live you fuck up…
He just needs your cash, not sympathy.
Self-same fate could befall you or me.
