"Who Are You, Defenders of the Universe?" as written by and Murray Lightburn....
We need your information.
We will do what we must.
But not here,
Or in front of people,
Or on the phone.
We're not all blood-sucking leeches.
For we all have families too.
But that don't mean that we really love them-
Or that we don't.
Cause I can't love you.
And you can't love me.
But I can love you.
And you can love me.
Love me.
It's not a confrontation.
(All across the world, open your eyes)
We are here because we are broke.
(Give us what we want, we've had enough.)
But we don't expect a handout, or anything.
(So, so, so, so, so)
'Cause I can't help you.
And you can't help me.
But I can help you.
And you can help me.
I can't help you.
You can help me.
I can help you.
You can help me.
Help me.
Help you.
(It's not an impossible situation.)
Help me.
(It's not an impossible situation.)
Help you.
(It's not an impossible situation.)
Help me.
(It's not an impossible situation.)
I know there is doubt we can do this-
But-
I can help you.
We will do what we must.
But not here,
Or in front of people,
Or on the phone.
We're not all blood-sucking leeches.
For we all have families too.
But that don't mean that we really love them-
Or that we don't.
Cause I can't love you.
And you can't love me.
But I can love you.
And you can love me.
Love me.
It's not a confrontation.
(All across the world, open your eyes)
We are here because we are broke.
(Give us what we want, we've had enough.)
But we don't expect a handout, or anything.
(So, so, so, so, so)
'Cause I can't help you.
And you can't help me.
But I can help you.
And you can help me.
I can't help you.
You can help me.
I can help you.
You can help me.
Help me.
Help you.
(It's not an impossible situation.)
Help me.
(It's not an impossible situation.)
Help you.
(It's not an impossible situation.)
Help me.
(It's not an impossible situation.)
I know there is doubt we can do this-
But-
I can help you.

And there's the line, "We don't expect a handout or anything". When you think about it, he's trying to say that the homeless can't really help being what they are. The "give us what we want" lines could be the voices of society, telling them to work for them, get a life, job, etc.
Seriously, i've been listening to this song for over a year and a few months, and every time I listen to it I am convinced that it's about an alien invastion.
At the same time, I completely see how the song can be about homelessness, and bringing about change to help those who are homeless.
