Mindin my own business
On the way to work
Relaxin on the transit
Accosted by some jerk
Who’s never had a bath
Sportin newsprint in his pants
Saliva on his chin
He asked me for a dance
 
I’m bummin out
It ain’t no joke
Livin out
Hobos go for broke
 
Sunday afternoon
Relaxin in the park
A strange aroma filters
The dog begins to bark
A sanitation engineer
Like I’ve never seen before
Is cleanin out a trash can
A distinctive metaphor
 
I’m bummin out
It ain’t no joke
Livin out
Hobos go for broke
