The Others

Call me a pauper Call me a beggar Call me a drifter Call me a thief Call me whatever Don't say my name But I'm in your face You can't miss me I was once a child I was once a student I was once happy I was once loved If you were me What would you say If I were you I wouldn't look away My world is cold My world is dark Your world is distant Our worlds co-exist You look down I look up You see the dirt I see the sun You're satisfied And take for granted I don't have enough Yet I get by Don't blame me I walk my rocky road While you drive down yours in an air-conditioned car
