A Future Shock (Bonus Track) Lyrics by Crippled Black Phoenix

Bronze

0

My name is Ronald Davis
I've been on the streets for about a year and a half now
Well, I come from the suburbs where life is rough
I have slept in Lower Wacker
I have slept on bridges
I've been sleeping in little cardboard boxes
[?]
It's really humiliating to be sick and [?] 24 hours a day
And people just look at you like you're some kind of a bum
I have had people walk past me and say "Get a job bum"
And I said "wait a minute, I'm not a bum, I'm a human being"
After the end of the day, when people go home
And everybody get on [?]
Then I just feel so bad that I can't be going home (I'm sorry)
It's really [?] I'm really trying to get myself [?] off this street
I don't care what [?], if I can get a job [?]
[?]
I said "God bless you sir"
He walked past and went down the street, come right back
He said "You know what man, I had a bad day. I'm sorry for even calling you that"
He said "because I know you're a human being"
He said "would you accept my apology"
I said "apology accepted"
He went into his pocket and gave me thirty bucks and said
"You get you a room and get something to eat"
You know what I mean?
I mean, you know, no matter what people think about me
I know I'm a human person
Just 'cause I'm down [?] nobody's excuse to call me a bum
