lyrics

new politico in town
i saw him down on market
advertising how he'd take the homeless off the street

but through the wind and rain
a hard winter came
started fogging up my mind
just like it was fogging up my days

hold on...this might take a little while
hold on...this looks like a lot more work than i can handle
i didn't make those comments for the record
you can throw him out the door with all my promises

you might give a little more
if you only had some history
like where he came from, what he did
did he have a family
hold on
did he steal to fill their bellies
did he lie to get get them what they needed
police on every corner say
man find another place to sleep
he says
where else can i go ? you guys have been moving me for weeks now


hold on...this might take a little while
hold on...this looks like a lot more work than i can handle
i didn't make those comments for the record
you can throw him out the door with all my promises

if i find myself alive
you won't be the only one surprised
but i've spent much colder nights
and i don't need any
social service lies

but you might give a little more
if you only had some history
like where he came from, what he did
did he have a family
hold on
did he steal to fill their bellies
did he lie to get get them what they needed
police on every corner say
man find another place to sleep
he says
where else can i go ? you guys have been moving me for weeks now

hold on...this might take a little while
hold on...this looks like a lot more work than i can handle
i didn't make those comments for the record
you can throw him out the door with all my promises
