Down & Out
As I'm walking down the street during Christmas
I see people through their windows as I pass by
Everyone with shelter seems jolly this instant
As they look forward to another cozy night
Jolliness doesn't exist out here
Just a desperate feeling beneath the glistening ice
Freezing abandoned children don't cheer
Because they might be dead before sunrise
Your fire is toasty and bright
But there won't be any warmth found in the darkness tonight
By the thousands of homeless men, women, and children
Impoverished victims labeled as villains
So when you look out of your window tonight
Be glad you're not struggling to stay alive
While clutching to a cardboard sign
As a thousand unfamiliar faces pass you by
Pass you by
BYE!
I see people through their windows as I pass by
Everyone with shelter seems jolly this instant
As they look forward to another cozy night
Jolliness doesn't exist out here
Just a desperate feeling beneath the glistening ice
Freezing abandoned children don't cheer
Because they might be dead before sunrise
Your fire is toasty and bright
But there won't be any warmth found in the darkness tonight
By the thousands of homeless men, women, and children
Impoverished victims labeled as villains
So when you look out of your window tonight
Be glad you're not struggling to stay alive
While clutching to a cardboard sign
As a thousand unfamiliar faces pass you by
Pass you by
BYE!
