Spare Change

Lyrics

I look at you people out there
Frightened but you don’t show it
Look at the world around you
Frightening, but you say you don’t own it
At least you can stop and say hi to me
But you don’t give a damn
You’re only one step away from me
Still you don’t give me a chance

I look at you people without a care
What if you’re the one in need?
You say it’ll work itself out
Guess what? You’re part of the problem
At least you could stop and smile at me
But you don’t give me a damn
You’re moving so far and so fast
Still you just turn your back on me

I ask you people for help
None of you would even look at me
I live on the streets with hopes and with dreams
Human like you is what I am
At least you can stop and look at me
But you don’t give me a damn
Your world looks so narrow it’s crazy
Don’t you see you still have a chance?

Notes
Released as the B-side to "Telegraph Avenue." This unremarkable but cleanly-performed song featured a drum loop, Arta's e-bow, and Steven's imitation of Björk.
