Verse 1
He walks right by without a thing to say
Drops in a dime and goes right on his way
Homeless, that's not a word that he understands
His eyes see just a bum and not your fellow man
Verse 2
Playing the cards, need to pass some time
Had a job lined up but I was late for the line
I really want to work but I have no home
Spilled my blood in war and just left to roam
Chorus
Why do I get such bad breaks
A twist of fate, it can happen to you
Why do I get such bad breaks
A twist of fate, it can happen to you
Verse 3
A place to stay a pleasant luxury
Beats begging for change while I'm down on my knees
I know my luck will change just give it some time
That perfect life that will surely be mine
