V1
I saw you standing there wit a sign say’n “I will work for food”, stopping traffic on the streets, will anyone help you. I crossed the street at the light, just staring at you; your face unshaved and dirty clothes how did this happen to you. Then I turned my head and I walked on by, looking at anything but you, I turned my head and I walked on by, what could I do?

A doctor a lawyer an engineer, layoffs finally got you, your family broke up and depression set in, what else could you do? Well maybe a drink a little smoke, the monkey’s grabbed onto you and now it’s all gone, there’s nothing left, you sign says “will work for food”. Then I turned my head and I walked on by looking at anything but you, I turned my head and I walked on by, what could I do?
V3
Well I saw you standing there the very next day your sign said “God bless you”, your face was shaved and your clothes wee clean, had somebody helped you? You got a new job and your family came back, everything seemed new, everything had changed your a brand new man, I wonder what happened to you, but I turned my head and I walked on by, looking at anything but you, I turned my head and I walked on by, what could I do?
