Buddy can you spare a dime?
when stars are the roof
Do people laugh
Do people ridicule
Eviction-less
Been all said and done
Friends band together
Protection from the Lawless
As I keep the midnight hour
Rats frolic to and fro
Please don't bite
Help is all we need
As thousands of condos
Grow like saplings
More people die
Of starvations murderous rampage
Equality has long since evaporated
Into us versus them
Them that go to
A thousand dollar a plate dinners
As children
Dumpster dive for their next meal
Job well-done world
And as the homeless
Turn into the billions
Don't pee in front of my house
But I lived there first
But I lived there first
BUT I LIVED THERE FIRST!
