Verse 7
Dm
Within every city and town
there's a madison
Frozen lives for whom
nothing's happening
Hungry children is a mother's
dilemma
Dumpster diving to feed her
baby emma
So you walk on by like
it doesn't affect you
The held out hand that you
pay no respect to
Nickels and dimes won't
even buy your guilt
Another wino burnt to death in his quilt
It's a cardboard city,
newspaper metropolis
The system can't cope or keep
on top of this
The authorities come as you're
not for display
Do they solve the problem no they
move him away
They're in a vicious circle
of no fixed abode
The social won't pay 'em the
money they're owed
When you've got no money
you can't pay rent
Hypothermia kills ''cause the

Verse 10
In the subway sits a vacuous man
His grip on life is a bent tin can
It's a holy shrine where he burns his light
It makes things easy
and removes his plight
For an hour or two but
he can't escape
They're all penned in with
government tape
Am
Dm
There are good samaritans
who bring the soup
The sally army with their
bibles and boots
You can see yourself as it's not too far
One short trip you don't who they are
Till the night comes then
it all comes back
Like the smell of patchouli and
Dm
It's a shame to be human
it's a human shame
It seems we've forgotten we're one
