The view of the world from the eyes of a homeless man in west philly

lyrics

When I was just a little boy,
They told me that I could change the world,
But it doesn't seem that things have turned out that way.
& when I look back now, to all the things I thought I had control over,
I was wrong, I was dead wrong.
I lost...I lost...I lost my head again,
How long has it been?

I see the people walk by,
& realize that I have nothing left to offer but
Just a little peace, and comfort.
Sitting there, with a few weeks of unwashed hair,
Curled up inside my coat,
& it's dusty and ragged and old...
I lost...I lost...I lost...
The game of life, how long 'till I end this strife?
It's been awhile, it's been awhile,
Since I've seen myself,
Oh I've asked & I've asked for help.
& you look at me like I'm some disgusting thing
I know, I'm not that pleasing to see but please please believe,
I am still a human being, I am still a human being,
I am still a human being, I still believe in things.
