Downtown by the tent city
Where the homeless people live
There are regular people too
But they just walk by
Mostly it’s the homeless kind of people
I feel guilty about having stuff
So I give them some regular people stuff
Now we’re the same
They are happy and I am happy
One of them gives back
A dollar for my kids
We both gave but we’re not the same now
He broke the deal
He’s supposed to accept my charity
And I’m supposed to feel charitable
Now I feel guilty again
He ruined it
