He makes his way to the same spot every day And he plays all the same songs Just coppers in his case, a fake smile on his face And he's playing everything a little bit wrong A 'drunk' and a 'waster', and that's just a taster Of some of the shouted abuse But he's going nowhere, he's got nothing to show there And he gives the same tired excuse
He says their ears are immune to my same old tunes So they walk and pass me by But this is what I do, and I make my way through What a way to live my life
