We sit in dark alleys
and try to get money
all I want is some sympathy
all we do is piss and moan, walk around all alone
and talk about crazy things, just like me

I'd like to see you spend a week
Eating dogs and birds for meat
I don't think you could survive
If you could spend a day or two
Without a fresh shave or some brew
I think you'd give up and you'd cry, you would cry

Lifestyles of the Poor and the Homeless
We're always complaining, always complaining
(Lack of) money is such a problem,
We had a mansion
But we kept spending

Well did you know that when you're poor you don't have a life
And mans best friend equals a meal tonight
Because you're using all your cash to support your "habits"
And did you know when I was 8 my dad turned his back
My mom wouldn't even wanna take me back
I'll just take my broke a** back to D.C.

I'd like to see you spend a week
On these dark and filthy streets
I don't think you could survive
If you could spend a day or two
Walking 'round in my old, a** shoes
I think you'd give up and you'd cry, you would cry

(Chorus)

Lifestyles of the Poor and the Homeless
We're always complaining, always complaining
(Lack of) money is such a problem,
We kept on spending
now we got nothing
Lifestyles of the Poor and the Homeless
you'll find us rummaging through the dumpsters, just trying to get by

Lifestyles of the Poor and the Homeless
