Shannon:
It's about this old homeless guy that I used to see every day walking up
to your (Ricki Rachtman) office and every day I'd pass him and he would
always take these papers and scratch out faces and areas of the human body
and throw them down and cuss a few people and walk away.
Lyrics:
Shuffle
can to can nobody really gives a damn
For
every living day I give myself a hand
Now
I’m scroungy as can be
I
got all you normals looking at me
I’ll
scratch a hole in my life
So
everyone can see
My
mind is a mind that I have come to know
And
my eyes can’t conceive a world that can not grow
And
Fridays are always fresh days
Screamin’
at the sun, don’t really
Know
what he has done
He
don’t believe in God and a world as one
So
he rambles through the weeds
And
he will sleep beneath the trees
On
the day I die,
Thank
God my Soul will be released
I’ve
seen all your eyes
And
I’ve seen all your faces
Can
you tell me honestly that you wanna be free
Then
look in my eyes
I’ve
been lots of places
Can
you tell me honestly that you’d want to be me
Honestly
