I'm at best two bad decisions Or three pay checks away From being just another face That doesn't have a name And when you've nothing left to lose You have everything to gain I hope you know you're not the only one Begging for change He's got nothing left to say So now he only sings While he's moving place to place He's always plucking his last string He's got nowhere left to go Or anywhere to be But still somehow has fewer problems Than he has got teeth So I try and hide the guilt Leave behind all empathy But I can't ignore the fact I'm glad that it's him instead of me I'm at best two bad decisions Or three pay checks away From being just another face That doesn't have a name And when you've nothing left to lose You have everything to gain I hope you know you're not the only one Not the only one begging for change And now he spends his days The same way he spends his weeks In the doorways of abandoned shops On Silver Street And though he's got no bills to pay The price is still pretty steep How long until all hope is gone Like the feeling in his feet I still hear him sing his upbeat songs I still look the other way But I can't ignore the fact That me and him were once the same I'm at best two bad decisions Or three pay checks away From being just another face That doesn't have a name And when you've nothing left to lose You have everything to gain I hope you know you're not the only one Not the only one begging for change But December bit so hard The ice and snow so thick And I've not seen him around these parts since the 25th Maybe he caught a cold Or did he catch a break Maybe he was saved Or found an early grave I'm at best two bad decisions Or three pay checks away From being just another face That doesn't have a name And when you've nothing left to lose You have everything to gain I hope you know you're not the only one Begging for change And when you've nothing left to lose You have everything to gain I hope you know you're not the only one Not the only one begging for change
