He’s got no possessions
But he’s smiling at me
Not sure what to think
I pretend I don’t see
His front teeth are missing
But he holds his head high
If I was in his shoes
I’d surely want to die
He’s an outcast of society
His status so low
Not someone you’d wanna be
I feel so guilty
And hand him my change
Though his smile gets much wider
Deep down I feel strange
It does not make a difference
How much change he will make
As he needs much more
To help him get his life straight
Chorus x 2
But somehow I have a feeling
That he has pity with me
I am a slave just the same way
But with a job, and a bed and a widescreen TV…
We could be outcasts from the heavens above
All searching for meaning
All searching for love
Outcasts from the heavens above
All searching for meaning
All searching for love
Oooh
He is me and I am he.
