Thirty Thousand Men |
| Thirty thousand men on the Bowery |
| Thirty thousand men on the street |
| Can’t help but roam when you ain’t got no home |
| Beggin' handouts for something to eat |
| Beggin' handouts for something to eat |
| Thirty thousand men on the sidewalk |
| Thirty thousand men in the town |
| Nowhere to go when the wind starts to blow |
| Lookin' 'round for some place to lay down |
| Lookin' 'round for some place to lay down |
| Thirty thousand men tired and dirty |
| Thirty thousand men to be fed |
| Bussed out to Queens for a chance to get clean |
| And a shot at some sleep in a bed |
| And a shot at some sleep in a bed |
| Thirty thousand men in the arm’ries |
| Thirty thousand men down the block |
| Neighbors all shout «we don’t want 'em about» |
| «Bus 'em back in the morning and stop» |
| «Bus 'em back in the morning and stop» |
| Thirty thousand men of depression |
| Thirty thousand men 'neath a cloud |
| Jobs getting scarce and they’re cutting welfares |
| And we might find ourselves in the crowd |
| And we might find ourselves in the crowd |
| Thirty thousand men in the city |
| Thirty thousand men killin' time |
| Helpless and cold, some are young, some are old |
| Shabby clothes and some bottles of wine |
| Shabby clothes and some bottles of wine |
| Steve Forbert |
