From the recording Too Late for Washington
Lyrics
Sno-Homeless county,
near Seattle WA
you just need a cardboard box,
and the will to stay alive
There’s wine in the cellar
More expensive than heroin
If you can avoid Detox
The junks a far much better buy
Living on a homeless trek , No respect
Uncle Sam he says Fuck You
Living on the precipice , Of almost dead and gone
Looking for a one way fix, Not dirty tricks
Like a needle or a cork screw
And I would be so depressed
If I was living outside
A tent city under the freeway
Isn’t no way to live
A tent city under the freeway
Isn’t no way to live
Some folks are doubters
Others see clear what’s wrong
Voicing their scorn-neglect
And I just cant conceive as why
Stranded on a homeless trek , No respect
Uncle Sam he says Fuck You
Living on the precipice , Of almost dead and gone
Looking for a one way fix, Not dirty tricks
Like a needle or a cork screw
And I would be so depressed
If I was living outside
And I’d be so upset, if my home was I-5
