George Lyrics

So you're thinking that the hungry man is just a castaway who has no story

You live your life like you're the cover of a magazine

He holds the door before you rush inside

But you choose to take a different corridor

As he walks away, wondering what to believe

He's all alone wondering where to go

George sleeps on the station floor

Next to destitutes who lose their spirits

The odor keeps him wondering how he ever got this way

His crucial years were a valley of tears thru daddy's decade of incarceration

though he gets out soon George don't know if he'll see him

No point in dwelling now

With a stomach growl begging away

Well he don't lie and he don't steal

Just needs some white collar change

To cover his next meal

All the tracks of grey

Don't carry away the pain

On the mainline

George don't take the train

He walks slow as people come and go

Lots of noise he has no conversation

When words are found George's eyes are usually sketching the ground

He won't join the 27 club like Hendrix, Joplin or Cobain

He's never tasted fame but maybe it's his time to go

George clings to life wondering what this is all about

But he don't cry and he don't feel

He walks a nickel bag through the streets and later sips the night away

He didn't ride with the divas or the starched shirt gods today

On the mainline

George don't take the train

Oh not taking the train

Just need some white collar change

Oh i need to change

Mister wont you give some change
