Walking down this same road again

Not knowing where I'll end up

These old shoes are carrying my pain

Of broken homes and no one's love

I see

Rolling up shutters, boys fixing gutters

I've got nothing at all

Over the summer I lost a brother

Like leaves I fell in the fall

And now I'm on the breadline

Everyone knows your name

It's a deadline

Oh it's a crying shame

You'll be back again

Slowly now I'm picking up my feet

The tides are turning

An offer came to take me from these streets

Yes I've got a chance of earning

Hoping one day I could

Go find a lover, bedsheets and covers

A place to ease my mind

Maybe tomorrow I'll lose my sorrows

But for now I'm wasting time

On the breadline

Everyone knows your name

It's a deadline

Oh it's a crying shame

You'll be back again

This don't have to be forever

One day a change will come

We've all got to pull together

I know it's easier said than done

Dreams are sold, growing old

Get out of the cold into the sun

We could break bread and wine

But for now

We've gotta break out of the breadline
