Subject: Hard-Hearted Nation

I'ma glistening Nazarene, no dad for me
Self-proclaimed bastard breed, accept it happily
Father figure?, have to ask you what that one means
All I got is this shirt on my back, feel like a Katrina refugee
Should've got an education, took a path that was meant for me
Somewhere along the line karma tampered with destiny
I burned the old me in effigy, not reality
Could never deal with those flames sensually
Essentially I need to stop in my tracks, rest & grieve
Walking the side of the road in rags with a canteen
The man seen on the highway with a hitch-hike thumb
Looking up at a vanilla sky so damn clean and serene
Played loftier roles, can't get passed this damned scene
People treating me as if I should be quarantined
They're all obscene saying, "You smell like spoiled chlorine".
Addicted to a myriad of pills, "WILL WORK FOR MORPHINE"
A younger generation can't understand my plight
They say, "Get a job, join a church, do what's right".
Others patronize my situation, pay me for a bumfight
With a styrofoam cup standing in front of grocery stands
Close-fisted hands won't budge off 1 penny
Treating they pocket-change like it was grands
I'ma shell of a man walking through your HARDHEARTED NATION
