'Nowhere Else To Go'

When you're down and out it's always fate that takes the blame

You got nothing else to lean upon.

There's no other reason for you feeling all this pain,

With nowhere else to go, all hope is gone.

And it's alright for you, driving in your car,

You don't see the misery around.

It's alright for you, you know who you are!

You don't see the problem from the ground.

Raining in the afternoon and bitter cold at night

Taking any handout you can find.

One days like another til you wind up with no fight

All dignity and pride are left behind.

And it's alright for you, driving in your car,

You don't see the misery around.

It's alright for you, you know who you are!

You don't see the problem from the ground.

Who can see the problem from the ground?
