Slapstick Lyrics
"February One"

Homeless guy I walk by every single day
He seems so nice but people always turn away
One day I stood with him and we talked for a while
He seemed so happy, sadness in his smile

I shook his hand and he said "thank you very much
'Cause sometimes conversation's just as good as a donation"

I didn't understand until he looked at me and said
"Millions like me are freezing tonight
And no one cares if we live or die
Change in my cup gives me a couple bucks to spend
But I'd rather be treated like a person again"

As I stood with him a business man walked up
A winning smile and threw a wad of gum into his cup
I was so angry that I ran and chased him down
I tapped him on the shoulder and he turned around

I shook my head and I said "you're a fucking dick"
He turned pale and asked me what the fuck I meant

He'll never understand but still I pointed back and said
"Millions like him are freezing tonight
And no one cares if they live or die
Change in his cup gives him a couple bucks to spend
But he'd rather be treated like a person again"
Again, again, again
And again and again and again and again
