Obviously a song about giving change to hobos. I respect that. I can't say I always give people change on the street, there are still junkies out there. I just talk to them occasionally and get to know them... I've met some very friendly homeless people who aren't even homeless by choice, but because of injuries and job loss. Kids are kicked out of their parents' homes for petty reasons. Sometimes, fortunes are lost or sometimes even stolen due to something that went wrong. My own mother used to have a bunch of squeegie kids (people who wash car windows on street corners with those window washers you see at gas stations), and a few really good friends of mine trash talk them when they don't even know them!!! These guys are like brothers to me.. and almost all of them have gotten off the streets! So people, when someone asks you for change on the street, don't just walk past them without even glancing at them. Inspect them, do they look like bad people? Do they look strung out? Do they look like they're gonna spend all that change you give them on crack? If not, then throw them that extra $1 in your pocket. Help them out. Hobos with children are a bonus, hook them up LARGE. Your generosity will pay off one day...
