Dire Straits
I am in need of some cash could you give me a fiver
Oh how I look disdained at his smelly attire
Oh please mam I have two kids at home
Then why on the dirty streets you roam
I cannot find employment please help me mam
I see you wont work I dont give a damn
Please give me a chance to prove I am true
Please get out of my eyesights view!
No mam please help me I need some cash
Stop bugging me like an allergic rash
Dont turn your back on me please I beg
Your rejection is my end I attest
Oh dont test me you filthy insect
I turn away in sheer disgust
But turn in time to hear brakes slam
He walked onto the road for a hepling hand
I look down at his limp form in horror
Its too late to regret he is gone forever . . .
