DERELICT

[ SONG-LYRICS ]

______________

 

I am no one but I am

Known by everybody

 

Only seen but never heard

Just part of the scenery

 

Hated, ridiculed & shunned

For the way I live

 

I survive through every day

On what others give

 

Nothing to my name by a heavy load

And plenty of freedom

 

Never knowing where the road takes me

Where my next meal comes from

 

Left to the wolves in this cold world

Without a shred of sympathy

 

Underneath a bridge is shelter

Always open for vacancy

 

Humanity turned their backs on me

These streets have no mercy

Less than human, how they treat me

Another night

In the life

Of a derelict

 

Humanity turned their backs on me

These streets have no mercy

Just one in a million just like me

Another night

In the life

Of a derelict

 

A derelict
