lyrics

He’s a working man, from the city street
Yes, he worked a thousand jobs, to make ends meet
Never thought he’d reach older than fifty
But he saw all the great bands play in the seventies

He taught himself never to look back
Don't retaliate when you’re stabbed in the back
Never look up, never look down
On anyone wearing a helmet or a crown

And the foodbank provides
He still has his pride
In this vicious circle of his life

All his wisdom came
Through pain and shame
He had a life worth living
He was part of the game
Overrun by trouble and bad luck
He’s still trying to find the meaning
While his head still hits the ceiling
He’s still going around in circles on the treadmill of time

And the foodbank provides
he still has his pride
In this vicious circle of his life

And the foodbank provides
he still has his pride
In this vicious circle of his life
