1
I've been all around your dirty old city
2
Been all around your dirty old town [shades of ewan maccoll --.ed]
3
I've slept in your alleys, i've slept in your subways
4
Hunger and cold, they follow me down
5
Chorus:
6
Hunger and cold, hunger and cold
7
I wouldn't mind but i'm growing so old
8
But as low as i am, you know i'm still a man
9
And i wouldn't mind but i'm growing so old
10
Only last year i was rolling in money
11
Only last year the good times would roll
12
Only last year my friends were so many
13
But only last year was so long ago
14
(Chorus)
15
It's all so easy to throw me in prison
16
It's all so easy to just walk on by
17
But it's not so easy to see a man hungry
18
It's not so easy to look in his eye
19
(Chorus)
20
Yes there's poison in my cheap rotten liquor
21
There's poison in every old garbage can
22
But the worst kind of poison
23
Is in your own brain
24
When you look at me and forget i'm a man.
