(Kinky Friedman)
2
Walking on the ragged streets of time
3
A man is asking if there is a dime
4
Someone can spare.
5
No one pays him any mind,
6
But surely someone sees him there a-crying
7
When no oneâ"š¬â"ž¢s there.
8
And the washed out whore demands
9
The bottle in his hands.
10
Ah, Mister, donâ"š¬â"ž¢t you weep,
11
God knows weâ"š¬â"ž¢ve tried to keep
12
The Golden Rule and the
13
Top Ten commandments.
14
You canâ"š¬â"ž¢t believe the thing youâ"š¬â"ž¢ve seen
15
On the midnight TV screen
16
And nightmare sent by satellite.
17
Rain fire falling from the skies
18
A mother holds her baby and cries
19
And day for us for them is night.
20
And love is just a word we preach
21
For who can learn what none will teach.
22
Ah, people, donâ"š¬â"ž¢t you weep,
23
God knows weâ"š¬â"ž¢ve tried to keep
24
The Golden Rule and the
25
Top Ten commandments.
26
And moving across on the city street
27
A neighbor tried to find his feet
28
And fell on down and slipped to ruin.
29
The bystanders are all standing by
30
Watching from corners of their eyes
31
Wondering what on earth can he be doing.
32
With a faith nobody shared
33
And a love nobody dared
34
Oh, Mary, donâ"š¬â"ž¢t you weep,
35
Someday weâ"š¬â"ž¢ll learn to keep
36
The Golden Rule and the
37
Top Ten commandments.
