This one's for Newt and the boys...

Here I am standing right in front of you
Out-stretched hand, “Hey buddy, can you spare a few?”

Do I beg you for mercy?
Is that what you want me to do?
You can't know me
'Till you've walked in my shoes

Judge and jury is that what you are?
Ridin' 'round town in your big old fancy car

Politicians talking left and right
The war on povery, who's gonna win that fight?
But that ain't nothing but a sound bite
'Cause they ain't the ones sleeping in the street at night

You've got yours, but I sure ain't got mine
And you know the way that I see it, just a matter of time
And you better be careful
'Cause someday it could happen to you

You can't know me
'Till you've walked in my shoes
