When, oh when, is a song ready to be released? This was recorded in 2007. OK then.

lyrics

There’s a beggar woman
Dressed Persian like
With a sign that reads
I dunno. I never read it.

She walks between cars
Holding the sign for drivers to see
Black print
God something
Maybe make peace
I dunno. I never read it

She’s fat
She’s asking for money
Begging it from my pocket
To her plate
And some people do,
Which I hate

If she’s gonna beg
I want her to smell
I want her to wear rags
and have scars
I want her to be hungry
And I want it show

That’s awful I know
Insensitive
Cold-hearted
What else?

But to see her you’ll know
And you’ll feel it too
The last thing you want
Is a beggar better than you

I don’t think too long
I don’t think too long
I don’t think too long
I don’t think too long

I don’t think too long
I don’t think too long
I don’t think too long
About her

Because to see her you’ll know
And you’ll feel it too
The last thing you want
Is a beggar better than you
