Follow the trail of the neon lit skyline
Down sleazy back alleys that don't see the sunshine
Wrapped up in cardboard to keep in some heat
Lies the frail old bag lady surveying her beat.

We deny they exist so we don't feel the guilt
To live in a house that ignorance built.

Searching through garbage for a morsel to eat
Serving up peelings and rotten old meat
There's no knives or forks, there's no airs and graces
Just grubby, little hands filling gaunt, dirty faces.

We deny they exist so we don't feel the guilt
To live in a house that ignorance built.

Can't get a job, got nowhere to live
Just getting by with what other folks give
They don't count in dollars, a nickel or dime
Saving it all for some cheap nasty wine.

We deny they exist so we don't feel the guilt
To live in a house that ignorance built.

Look into their faces at cold staring eyes
Their hopes and their dreams have said their goodbyes
Got no will to live, no reason to die
A mind full of questions, all asking why.

We deny they exist so we don't feel the guilt
To live in a house that ignorance built.
