Rock for a pillow, cold ground for a bed
Night sky for a blanket, cardboard for a bed
They are the homeless, now here's the news
One day, it might be me, could be you

Downtrodden, Lord, how it must feel
People starin' at you, like you're not real
They are the homeless, now here's some news
Oh, one day, could be me, could be you

Hard rock for a pillow
Cold ground for a bed
Night sky the only blanket
Lord, they're sleepin' on a cardboard bed

It's up to me, it's up to you
Tell the politician what to do
Fight for the homeless, don't be ashamed
'Cos one day soon, could be you, or me again
