Slapstick - February One lyrics

homeless guy i walk by every single day. he seems so nice but people always turn away. one day i stood with him and we talked for a while. he seemed so happy but he had sadness in his smile. I shook his hand and he said "thank you very much. cuz sometimes conversation's just as good as a donation." I didn't understand until he looked at me and said "millions like me are freezing tonite, and no one cares if we live or die. change in my cup gives me a couple bucks to spend but I'd rather be treated like a person again." as i stood with him a business man walked up. a winning smile and threw a wad of gum into his cup. I was so angry that i ran and chased him down. I tapped him on the shoulder and he turned around. I shook my head and said "youre a f**ing dick" he turned pale and asked me what the f** i meant. he'll never understand but still I pointed back and said "millions like him are freezing tonight and no one cares if they live or die. change in his cup gives him a couple bucks to spend but he'd rather be treated like a person again."
