Hey mister can you spare us some change
I’m down on my luck
I’m down on my luck
Hey mister can you spare some change
I’m looking for a better life
And I’m hoping it’ll come tonight
For a while it’s all been the same
I’m overextended and I’m all out of shape
When I get over a hill another takes its place
So I’m looking for a better life
Cuz 3.75 buys a buck and a half
And a holiday bonus is a thing of the past
Some folks they just keep on getting fat
While others look for a better life
And I’m hoping it’ll come tonight
Hey mister can you spare us some change
I’m down on my luck
I’m down on my luck
Hey mister can you spare some change
I’m looking for a better life
And I’m hoping it’ll come tonight
Make a decision it’ll trickle on down
Like water seeping into a crack in the ground
Sooner or later those roots will be found
And they will spring to life
Well you could be the one to change my luck
You could give me your hand and help me out this rut
That’s all anybody really wants
Is a shot at a better life
And I’m hoping it’ll come tonight
So here we are we’re standing down by the crossroads
I walked a couple of miles down that slow and lonely road
But I’m not looking for sympathy
I just want somebody to walk with me
And to see it from my view
Take a walk in my shoes
Yeah It’s the same old story
Wherever I go
My dreams are dying on the side of the road so
Hey mister can you spare us some change
I’m down on my luck
I’m down on my luck
Hey mister can you spare some change
I’m looking for a better life
And I’m hoping it’ll come tonight
Hey mister can you spare us some change
I’m down on my luck
I’m down on my luck
Hey mister can you spare some change
I’m looking for a better life
And I’m hoping it’ll come tonight
