Phil Ochs - Hunger & Cold Lyrics
Ive been all around your dirty old cityBeen all around your dirty old town [shades of ewan maccoll --.ed]Ive slept in your alleys, Ive slept in your subwaysHunger and cold, they follow me downChorus:Hunger and cold, hunger and coldI wouldnt mind but Im growing so oldBut as low as I am, you know Im still a manAnd I wouldnt mind but Im growing so oldOnly last year I was rolling in moneyOnly last year the good times would rollOnly last year my friends were so manyBut only last year was so long ago(chorus)Its all so easy to throw me in prisonIts all so easy to just walk on byBut its not so easy to see a man hungryIts not so easy to look in his eye(chorus)Yes theres poison in my cheap rotten liquorTheres poison in every old garbage canBut the worst kind of poisonIs in your own brainWhen you look at me and forget Im a man.
