======================================
SLEEPING OUT ON SKID ROW.
======================================

I RAN AWAY I HOPPED ON THE GREYHOUND
BUS;

HEADED FOR THAT GOLDEN STATE OF
CALIFORNIA,

I LANDED ON SKID ROW NOW I'M JUST
ANOTHER TRAMP;

AS I WONDER AIMLESSLY ON THE
STREETS OF LOS ANGELES,

WHEN THE SUN GO DOWN YOU CAN
ALWAYS FIND ME SLEEPING IN MY TENT
ON SKID ROW;

AT THE CORNER OF 6TH. STREET AND
MAPLE AVENUE,

THE HOMELESS SHELTER ON SKID ROW
ARE STRIPPING AWAY THE VERY DIGNITY
OF EACH INDIVDUAL HOMELESS PERSON
ON SKID ROW;

STARING AT THE FACES OF OTHER TRAMPS
LIKE MYSELF,

WATCHING THEM GOING THROUGH THE
TRASH CAN AND EATING RIGHT OUT OF THE
TRASH CAN;

THE STREETS OF SKID ROW HAVE BEATEN
THEM DOWN,

THEY HAVE TAKEN A HARD TOUGH
BEATING ON SKID ROW;

THEM SLEEPING GIANTS HAVE ALL BUT
FALLEN ASLEEP TO THE HOMELESS
PROBLEMS,

THE SLEEPING GIANTS HAVE ALL WASH
THERE HANDS JUST LIKE PONTIUS PILATE
TWO THOUSAND YEARS AGO;

SO WHERE ARE THE PEOPLE OF GOD
WHERE ARE THE PEOPLE OF GOD,

IN THE BOOK OF MATTHEW JESUS SAID.

FOXES HAVE HOLES AND THE BIRDS OF THE
AIR HAVE NESTS BUT THE SON OF MAN HAS
NO WHERE TO LAY DOWN HIS HEAD UPON
THIS WORLD;

THE WORLD BELONGS TO THE RICH PEOPLE
AND NOT TO US POOR PEOPLE,

THEY HAVE HOUSES TO SLEEP IN
BUT WE HAVE A ONE ROOM TENT TO
SLEEP IN.
