Give The Man A Coin [featuring Gareth Liddiard]

from Searching For The Heart Of It All by Rob Snarski And His So-Called Friends

lyrics

Give the man a coin
He said give the man a coin
Give the man a coin you rich dogs

Yeah some young street thug
Started moving my way
Made me wish I’d walked the other way
On any other night
He might’ve doused my lights
But he wasn’t looking great

He never looked me in the eye
He took a bunch of gold coins
A couple of cigs
He floated off downtown
Without thanks, goodbye
Like a bottle floating out to sea

Give the man a coin
He said give the man a coin
Give the man a coin you rich dogs

I been there done that before
Spent cold nights sleeping rough
It just happens if it happens
You don’t get to choose that kind of stuff

They say give a man some fishes
And he’ll eat for a day
And If you always get your wishes
That is the dumb shit that you’d say

Yeah give the man a coin
He said give the man a coin
Give the man a coin you rich dogs

You see that young fella on the ground
With his dog and paper cup
He’s just looking for a train fare
Hoping for a change of luck

He said there’s nothing left here for me
I been locked out black and blue
I got debts that ain’t going anywhere
What the hell am I meant to do?

Give the man a coin
Give the man a coin
Give the man a coin you rich dogs
