The bum is dumpster diving all over town
return bottles earn him plenty of change
Every night you can see him on his busy round
He´s got every detail of his life arranged
He never listens to the buskers sing
He´s in it for the bliss that empty bottles bring
Them gangsta boys are always looking for a fight
trying to act real mean, trying to look real fierce
But they´re a little soft spoken tonight
´cause they´ve just had their buttholes pierced
At the end of the line it boils down to one thing:
It´s a cause without rebels, this crowd just wants funding
There´s public screening in the streets tonight
a new sensation´s on display
Everybody knows what they´ll get is crap
but they crave it anyway
Everybody´s got an armful of tattoos
Everybody´s complaining about the crisis
Everybody´s got their own substance to abuse
Everybody´s talking to their own devices
They´ve all got nothing left but a lot to lose
They´ve all got their own definition of the blues
Trying to keep up an outcast´s notoriety
while becoming a part of society
all the new slogans don´t sound so outrageous
these days cheap talk is really contagious
So find a bigger shadow to walk by your side
trade in lost hope for a fistful of pride
Something´s gonna come this way you say
and we can have it all for free
But whatever this way comes, I guess
something wicked it will be
Everyone agrees, the victims need a voice
Everybody´s crying about the suffering they´ve seen
but when it finally comes to making a choice
everybody´s opting for a bigger screen
But no-one wants to watch this thing alone
No-one tries to be smarter than their phone
So come and see me tonight my dear
I will share my best bottle of wine
We could sit real close and shed a tear
for auld lang syne
