Bring me your poor and your desperate, deprived and I'll
Show you something that kept me alive
Hello is the only word to
Fight the loneliness you feel inside
I went down to the church to see if
Preacher could help me find
Something to believe in
But he charged me a dime so I made up my mind and I
Went on home to my bottle of Jack and my bathroom floor instead
I went down to the bank to see if
I had enough to run away to
Mexico
Where nobody would know that I'm no one but they
Sent me away
"The money's all gone"
"The money's all gone"
It's not about riches
Or a god in the sky
It's so damn easy to be disenfranchised
So slow down
Take a look around
Take a look around
Oh, Down and out
Seems like nobody cares if you're even there
You're alone
With nowhere to go and no one to go with
You're on your own
Take a look around
Take a look around
