"I find it in an atlas
Or flipping over old news
Check what's in the trash bag" - how the homeless are little more than a passing curiosity to most people
"We're just another part of you" - people need to face up to reality.
"I beg your pardon??!" double meaning, a) show us some respect! b) literally, a homeless person begs passers-by for their approval
"Blame me for where you are
Tell me what I got to lose
That's a bit fancy" - How people scapegoat the poor for society's problems
i love the anger and intentional griminess of this song and it fits the topic perfectly.
