Street Beast

STREET BEAST - Written by Carroll Bryant 

Hey, old man, I see you're here again

Trying to find dinner in a garbage can

Hey, young lad, I see you got it bad

Running around again with the old man

It eats at my heart and soul

Tell me how could you let it go?

Or was it more than just giving up?

Is anybody gonna show you love?

Hey, old man, I see you're here again

Laying out your bed behind that garbage can

Hey, young lad, is this old man your dad?

You show no emotion just like him

It wears on my conscious mind

Tell me how you got lost in time

Did society take your life?

Did they steal your pride?

And in a winters night, how do you sleep?

And if you find a dime to a paper cup, which one will you keep?

To survive, what do you need?

Hey, old man, can you understand?

Holding up a sign or holding out your hand

Hey, young lad, never happy, never sad

Just going along without a master plan

 And in a winters night, how do you sleep?

And if you find a dime to a paper cup, which one will you keep?

 To survive, what do you need?

Street beast running the streets

What do you want and how much you need?

Street beast where you gonna sleep?

Society casts you aside and now you're on the street, beast

Like a dog in the night searching for heat

Street beast what do you eat?

Society pushed you aside and now you're living on the streets
