On The Streets

(words & music Joe Pereira)

Society is judged by how it treats the poor
and the vulnerable and those who don’t conform
throwing out of hospitals those who are in need
its cheap but it don’t treat those who can’t control their deeds

The only way to check in
at the hotel of his dreams
was to take another life
only then they’d hear his screams

It’s no life
on the streets
Its no life
on the streets

Care in the community is not a visitor nor host
it’s when society turns its back on those who need it most
and even when they’re pleading to be taken back inside
Carers are ignoring them and casting them aside

The only way to check in
at the hotel of his dreams
was to take another life
only then they’d hear his screams

It’s no life
on the streets
Its no life
on the streets
