Beggars seem to be aimlessly drifting from day to day
They Beg/Sing (singing usually off-key) and people drop in small amounts of money (occassionally) like they care that they are begging to no longer be Beggars.
They have no hand in the world, they do not usually vote etc. and people avoid them like a wall is between them.
The paper sell images of them as drug addicts and crack heads, which isn't always true.
If they offend you as they try to explain their situation, they want you to please listen to them.
'Fancy' and 'Posh' clothing don't make a difference, we are all human and still feel pain, beggar or not.
Can you name you problems? If so I congratulate you. Will you conquer your problems or will they destroy you and put you on the street? If you can defeat them, I can't congratulate you because we are from a different class of society.
People try to ignore them, giving people peace of mind by making Beggars 'silent'
If a beggar finds peace they find money, and so are free from the curse of the streets.
With the money and freedom, they are no longer there so they are 'silent' to people again.
To me this song seems to be about Poverty.
