Ya say ya lost your job today?
Ya say it's 4 A.M. and your kids ain't home from school yet?
Ya say your wife went out for a corned beef sandwich last weekend
The corned beef sandwich came back but she didn't?
Ya say your furniture is out all over the sidewalk
'Cause ya can't pay the rent and ya got chapped lips and paper cuts
And your feet's all swollen up and blistered from pounding the pavement looking for work?
Is that what's troubling ya, fellow?
from the Old Philosopher by Eddie Lawerence
