The Shopping Cart

Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!
See the old man with the shopping cart Up before dawn how each of his days start Combing through garbage like a cat in the night He may find a few empties if his day starts off right Maybe a shelter or under the bridge That's where he lays his head down He'll be looking for Nickels all day And smoke the dog ends he's found Society turned it's back on you And so did the system sad but it's true People crossing the street when they see you come by They warn their kids with stories They don't care if it's all a lie Cardboard for covers will not stop the chill It's only a matter of time till it kills Hungry and dirty no life in your eyes And the day that they find you it will be no surprise Young man with the shopping cart Never had a home knew no one with a heart Why did fate turn it's back on you Did you make the mistake and give the devil his due? Looking for something someone threw away To sell with yourself to some creep for the day There's no pity for you or your kind in this world Lost your mind and your pride For a flag that's unfurled Everything on you has taken it's toll It's tough to lose everything especially your soul You pray to yourself get me through this day But do you really want to go on this way
