I wonder what you see when you see me sittin downtown with my head between my knees
Two straight weeks under city hall trees in the rain
I tried to get a job at the cosmic debris doing cartoons of local luminaries
But 5 bucks an hour don't satisfy me, no way
1985 I was born to die but I survived
Got no momma never had no dad it's been the longest 24 years I ever have had
But when I play my song so sad I remember some but i mostly forget
Four years ago today I had a baby on the way with another street urchin just like me
Lost it to the elements, lost it anyway, in a way I like to think her life was saved
When you look me in the eye when you walk by what do the holes in the coat suggest or imply
Maybe the lazy baby never grew up
You don't know the half of it
Cause you've been getting cheques from the family breast, and everything is fixed and you don't even give a shit you've been guaranteed by ivy league by the family tree it's a lifetime membership"
