Perhaps a universal dread for sure a favorite song of mine. Somebody had to say it!! Just a Bum Lyrics I saw a man, he's a well-dressed man He had a tan from the Yucatan He had a car, he looked like a star I said, Hey, don't I know who you are But when he glanced into my eyes I saw yes I saw was such a big surprise He was afraid that he's just a bum Someday when all his stuff is gone and he's left without a dime Time ain't money when all ya got is time And you can see him standin on the corner with a nine-day beard and bright red eyes I know a guy, he's a pal of mine I say, hey. He say, I'm doin fine I'm movin up the ladder, rung rung rung I'm gonna get my million while I am still young But at night when he's had a few His eyes say different than his tongue They say I'm afraid that I'm just a bum Someday when all my stuff is gone and I'm left without a dime Time ain't money when all ya got is time And I can see me standin on the corner with my nine-day beard and my bright red eyes Goin hey, hey hey hey hey, come on and listen to my story, hey, hey hey hey hey, ah hey Some people live to work, work to live Any little tremble and the earth might give Ya can't hide it in a Volvo or a London Fog Can't hide it in a mansion with an imported dog No matter how we plan and rehearse, we're at pink slip's mercy in a paper universe And we're afraid that we're just a bum Someday when all our stuff is gone and we're left without a dime Time ain't money when all ya got is time And we can see us standin on the corner with our nine-day beards and our bright red eyes Goin, hey hey hey hey hey hey hey Hey hey hey hey, come on and listen to my story man hey, hey hey hey hey, ah hey The man of sorrow's acquainted with grief Stands in line waiting for relief He will tell ya it wasn't always this way One bad little thing happened one bad little day Heartbreak has bad teeth and a sour smell and lives when he can in a cheap hotel And he's afraid that he's just a bum Someday when all his stuff is gone and he's left without a dime Time ain't money when all ya got is time And you can see him standin on the corner with a nine-day beard and bright red eyes Goin, hey hey hey hey hey hey hey Hey hey hey hey, come on and listen to my story man hey, hey hey hey hey, ah hey
to forget this may imperial our souls Well you better listen my sister's and brothers, 'cause if you do you can hear There are voices still calling across the years. And they're all crying across the ocean, And they're cryin' across the land, And they will till we all come to understand. None of us are free. None of us are free. None of us are free, one of us are chained. None of us are free. And there are people still in darkness, And they just can't see the light. If you don't say it's wrong then that says it right. We got try to feel for each other, let our brother's know that We care. Got to get the message, send it out loud and clear. None of us are free. None of us are free. None of us are free, one of us are chained. None of us are free. It's a simple truth we all need, just to hear and to see. None of us are free, one of us is chained. None of us are free. Now I swear your salvation isn't too hard too find, None of us can find it on our own. We've got to join together in spirit, heart and mind. So that every soul who's suffering will know they're not alone. None of us are free. None of us are free. None of us are free, one of us are chained. None of us are free. If you just look around you, Your gonna see what I say. Cause the world is getting smaller each passing day. Now it's time to start making changes, And it's time for us all to realize, That the truth is shining real bright right before our eyes. None of us are free. None of us are free. None of us are free, one of us are chained. None of us are free.
As I can't find confirmation on this... maybe hold back the tears a bit. From dust we come to dust we will pass away
