drinking orange juice straight from the carton

no, you're not worth noticing, part of the scenery.
- youre the grease dripping off the machinery
forming pools of pollution, but instead of a solution, people get pissed off cause you ruin the greenery and youre bringing their property value down, and they dont want you living in their town
"we don' wan'em here" is all they got, at a loss for words when you ask 'why not?'
"we don' wan'em here" they leer and jeer- they dont know what they want, just what they fear.

think they know you, and they say youre hiding
from the war of life that theyre all fighting
but youre at war with life, night out and night in
living the strife in the stories theyre reading
to their kids and wife, while youre sitting in a gutter that somebody peed in
and muttering cause your stomach's in need of feeding.
bread and butter?, no dont get greedy- some moldy crusts are all youre needing.

think they know you, and they say youre weak
cause they talk trash and you dont bother to speak

think they know you, but all that they see
is a shell of the man that you used to be:
behind snarled hair and thirty jackets,
living off trash and sugar packets.
