lyrics

Verse 1:

I lie here on the concrete

Broken, broken, crack, crack, snap, ouch!

I lie here on the concrete

And I cannot move
…
And you pass me by!

Chorus 1:

“Sir! Sir!”

Look at me lying on the filthy, cold floor,

Covered in pestilence,

No shelter from the elements
“Isn’t there anything you could do for me?

Oh, please! Please!”

Give me just a crumb to chew on

I’m not sure how long I’ll go on

Bridge 1:

“Oh nooo! I cannot help you,

My dear... anomaly

I’m upperclass

Here, just chew on this glass

And die a quicker death for me

Smile!”

Verse 2:

I lie here on the concrete

Broken, broken, crack, crack, snap, ouch!

I lie here on the concrete

And I’m angry now
…
And you walk away!

Chorus 2:

“Sir! Sir!"

I know you hate me, since you show it so well

You’ve got a prideful mind,

Wouldn’t care if I up and died
“I had thought you religious people were actually kind

But you… Seriously?”

I see your face and my fist is calling

If I could stand then I’d send you falling

Bridge 2:

“Hahaha!
Is this some kind of joke?

You’re a freak

And as far as I can see

You don’t have the strength to even poke

Bye now!”

Verse 3:

I lie here on the concrete

Broken, broken, crack, crack, snap, ouch!

I lie here on the concrete

And that’s all I can do
…
And I fade away



Ending:

Ha-oh, ohh…
And we always find so many things to criticize

And we always try to be on the right side

But don’t we know there’s more than our own way

And don’t we know there’s a coming final day

Justice will be served; don’t you worry…
